Using Outputs with Sardius HLS Entrypoint

Sardius HLS Entrypoint is a robust platform that allows for custom bitrates, resolutions, multiple audio languages, and more. In addition to manual setups, you can pair your encoder with our system so Sardius can automate your streaming events from start to finish.

Along with the Sardius web player, our system can also automate additional outputs (such as Facebook and YouTube) sent directly from your encoder.

Before you begin, make sure the outputs you want to use are already in your library. If you haven't created them yet, see:

• Adding an Output
• Adding a Facebook Output
• Adding a YouTube Output
