Create a streaming destination using Epiphan Cloud

You can create custom RTMP streaming destinations for your Pearl family devices directly from the Channel Details page using Epiphan Cloud. Stream destinations that you create in Epiphan Cloud are added to a common list that is accessible to all Pearl family devices that are paired with your team.

Common streams that are created using Epiphan Cloud are listed below the channel streams that are created locally on your Pearl family devices. You can select only one common Epiphan Cloud streaming destination at a time when streaming.

Before you begin

Before you create common streaming destinations using Epiphan Cloud, you'll need:

• A Pearl family device that is set up with Internet access and has the Epiphan Cloud feature enabled.
• For a custom RTMP stream, you need the destination server URL and the stream key.
