An MK.IO live workflow receives a continuous source, processes or passes through the signal, records it to an asset, and publishes it for playback. Use this page to choose the guide for each part of that workflow.
Start with the shortest path
For the Live interface, follow Create an SRT source, then Create a live event. For several sources in one picture, use Create a multiview live event.
The Live Events workflow below uses the Media API resource model. Live stream in five minutes takes you from a Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) source to a playback URL. Use it for a first test with OBS Studio or another prepared encoder.
Build a live workflow
Configure the event
Configure a live event explains live encoding and passthrough modes, RTMP, Real-Time Messaging Protocol Secure (RTMPS), Secure Reliable Transport (SRT), archive settings, and optional transcription.
Connect the source
Choose the source software you use:
Publish and monitor
Publish content for streaming explains streaming endpoints, locators, and playback URLs. Monitor your services covers operational metrics for live events and streaming endpoints.
Use the recording
MK.IO writes the live output to an asset in the selected storage account. After the event stops, you can process and publish that asset through the same guides used for Video on Demand (VOD):
