For agencies and AV crews
Event Agencies & AV Production Companies
Put your client's event on air from your own rig and send it wherever the audience is.
A conference, a product launch or a gala cannot be repeated, so the stream has to hold. DCAST takes the program feed from your own encoder over RTMP or SRT, sends it on to the platforms your client asks for, puts the player on the client's website and leaves you a recording to hand over.
RTMP/SRT
Ingest from your own encoder
Backup
A second encoder on PRO and VIP
Languages
Audio tracks on PRO and VIP
What you get
Event agencies, AV and production companies, conference producers, technical teams of venues
RTMP or SRT from your own rig
Send the program feed from OBS or any hardware or software encoder over RTMP, or over SRT from a venue with an unstable network. The SRT settings of a broadcast are available on the FREE plan as well, so you can test the whole route before you quote the job.
One feed to every destination
One broadcast can be sent on to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, Kick or a custom address at the same time, so you run one encoder instead of several. How many destinations run at once depends on the plan.
A backup encoder on PRO and VIP
On the PRO and VIP plans a second encoder can publish to the backup address of the broadcast. If the main feed is lost, the broadcast continues from the backup with a hitch of a fraction of a second and viewers stay in the same player. Use a different computer and, if you can, a different connection.
Language tracks on PRO and VIP
On the PRO and VIP plans one live broadcast can carry several audio languages: each interpreter sends audio from their own encoder, and every viewer picks a language in the player. Language tracks and the backup feed need an RTMP, SRT or WHIP broadcast, not the browser camera.
The player on the client's website, and a recording to hand over
Place the player on the client's website with a short embed code; by default it works on any website, or you can list the domains where it may appear. A standard broadcast is recorded automatically, the replay opens on the same link after the live ends, and you can download the recording as an MP4 file.
How it works
Agree what the stream includes
Before you quote the job, agree with the client in writing who watches the stream, where it appears and what happens to the recording afterwards.
Set up the broadcast and rehearse
Create the broadcast, copy its connection settings into your encoder and run a full rehearsal no later than the day before, on the venue's connection and at the hour of the event.
Add the destinations and the backup
Add every platform the client expects and check each destination. Where your plan includes the backup feed, connect a second encoder on another computer.
Go live, watch as a viewer, hand over
Name one person of your crew who watches the stream on a phone outside the venue network. After Stop, send the client the replay link or the downloaded recording.
