This can function as a quick backup for your channel, or in the event your streaming workflow requires using the same baseband to stream to multiple outputs.
This article will focus on creating an event on a Sardius channel using Sardius Stream, but you can also edit upcoming events that already exist on your calendar.
Note: For best results, be sure that your event time will start AFTER your encoder begins to send to your event.

4. Confirm the video and audio sources, then click Next.

5. Click “Apply”
6. Click the Play button to begin streaming to the Sardius channel. Give the channel a few seconds, and if you see a green light next to the channel’s name, then your KB is successfully sending to your Sardius Channel.
Verify the Connection
Return to the Sardius Control Panel. If possible, adjust your event’s start time so that you can check your connection. Once the Live Event Manager starts, you should see an image in the player.
If you see a feed in the player, you have confirmed that your Kulabyte is connected to your Sardius channel!
