Note that VidBlasterX Broadcast (the high-level software version) supports multiple streamer modules, allowing you to set up multiple streams.

If you haven’t done so already, you first need to create a live channel. Go all the way through that process, up to the ENCODER SETUP part. Make sure to remember or write down the name of your live channel for future reference.

4. Enter the URL/IP: Port and Stream, that are the stream URL and Stream names your find in your live channel you want to stream from, under the tab encoder setup – in your Dacast account.
5. You can now select the source of your stream from the available options. When you select the source of your stream, make sure it coincides with the source module you already selected.
For example: if you choose the CAMERA 1 module as your source, make sure you select CAMERA 1 as well in the source of streamer 1.
To test your stream in a browser, you can also copy-paste the Facebook or Twitter code in your search bar. Note that it can take up to 50 seconds to come up online.
