Live Stream to Amazon IVS with the Videon LiveEdge Device
Unlock real-time live video experiences with Amazon IVS and Videon LiveEdge, a powerful and cost-efficient solution for interactive video streaming
- How to live stream your video to Amazon IVS using LiveEdge
- Part 1 - Setting up your Videon LiveEdge Device
- Part 2 - Sending your live video stream to Amazon IVS
- Part 3 - Viewing your live stream
- Login to videoncloud.com
- Select the device that you want to enable a WHIP output from
- Name the Encoder (In this example: IVS Encoder)
- Change the Video Scaling to 1280x720p (16:9)
- Change the Video Bitrate to desired bitrate (for this example 6000 kbps)
- Change the Quality/Latency to Lowest (this will create a stream that has no B-frames). (B-frames (Bidirectional Predictive Frames) in H.264 video are frames that enhance compression efficiency by using both previous (P-frames) and future frames to predict and encode video data, reducing the overall bit rate while maintaining high video quality.)
- Change the H.264 profile to Baseline or Main. Main will provide higher quality, but not all devices support it. If you wish you can use the High profile, but very few devices fully support High. If a device doesn’t support all the features it can lead to video pauses, skips or even crashes on the playback side.
