Add a Presentation Profile

Devices : The Presentation Profiles Module : Add a Presentation Profile

Once a presentation profile is added, Event Admins may use them to control devices for their Webcasts.

Note: If your devices are not configured and added properly, you will not be able to use them in presentation profiles. See: Device Initial Configuration and Set Up

To add a Presentation Profile:

1. Navigate to Admin > Devices > Presentation Profiles > Add a Presentation Profile button.

2. Complete each section of the Presentation Profile form and click Create.

Any of the following devices may be defined as a viewing destination:

●An Encoder if that Encoder has also been set as the source in the Video Source section.

●A manually (custom) specified destination.

Available Streams		Available streams on the selected device that are available to be designated as viewing streams. Click the stream to add it to the Selected Streams column. It will then be used on the profile as a viewing stream.
Selected Streams		Streams that have been selected as viewing streams on the profile. Click a stream to remove it. It will be placed back in the Available Streams column and no longer available for use as a viewing stream.

Note: An RTSP unicast stream is required for recording live Webcasts in Rev. Make sure that your stream has a keyframe interval between 2 to 5 seconds and do not use B-frames. Please see your individual Encoder (stream source) documentation for setting information.

Tip: Streams are configured on the device when you add it from the All Devices module.
