Connecting a video stream to a Program

  1. Head to the Project Manager area of your Organisation.

  2. Select Programs from the left menu.

  3. Select the Program you wish to stream video into.

  4. Along the right sidebar you will see protocol options for Program Inputs.

    Numbered arrows tracing PROJECT to PROGRAMS to Test Program 01 to the Program Inputs panel on the right

    Finding a Program's Input Settings

  5. Depending on the protocols your Project has turned on there will be details in the right sidebar. SRT is RePro's primary and preferred protocol. However, RTMP, RTMPS and RTSP are also possible.

  6. You can expand the Split SRT Input Details to see a breakdown of the parts required by most hardware and software to stream SRT into this program. Use the eye button

    The eye button that reveals a hidden input detail

    to view or use the copy to clipboard button

    The copy-to-clipboard button that copies an input detail for pasting elsewhere

    to be able to paste the detail wherever you need.

    Split SRT Input Details expanded to reveal the SRT Input URL, IP and Port above the Input Password row

SRT input details include the domain (host) and IP address – either can be used but one or the other may be required depending on your software or hardware.

SRT URL Format:

• srt://[hostname]:[port]?passphrase=[passphrase]
• Example: srt://lon2.repro.stream:1031?passphrase=xxx123yyy456zzz789
  • srt:// – the protocol

  • lon2.repro.stream or 81.144.250.132 – the host domain or IP address

  • 10031 – the input port

  • xxx123yyy456zzz789 – the passphrase

You can read more about RTMP, RTMPS and RTSP URL elements in our Protocols Page

RTMP/RTMPS/RTSP take the form of a URL but some software and hardware require this to be broken down into parts.

RTMP URL Format:

• rtmp://[username]:[password]@[hostname]:[port]/[app]/[streamID]
• Example: rtmp://user:[email protected]:1935/live/stream123

Breakdown of RTMP URL:

rtmp://Ga8rtOna:[email protected]:9001/89_13/3b908771-69a5-11ee-a757-72cebd02efcf

This consists of:

  • rtmp:// – the protocol

  • Ga8rtOna:vCTwvjdwIMB9m39mPg5JiXxYH9K6pkjq – consists of a colon-separated user and password

  • @lon2.repro.stream:9001 – consists of a colon-separated hostname and port (9001 for RTMP in this case)

  • 89_13 – RTMP app

  • 3b908771-69a5-11ee-a757-72cebd02efcf – is the streamID

You can read more about RTMP, RTMPS and RTSP URL elements in our Protocols Page

If you can – use the domain-based host details – this way if there is ever need for the streaming server to have an IP change then it will not affect your connected hardware or software.

Depending on the hardware or software that is streaming the video, you need to either include or omit the srt:// at the beginning of the Input URL – for example, with a Teradek Prism you will need to make sure not to use the srt://, otherwise the stream will not connect.
