Blackmagic Stream Encoder

Blackmagic's hardware stream encoders are a clean, computer-free way to push a feed into Farbstrom. They support both RTMP and SRT. Grab the URL for your protocol from the admin Stream keys tab, then split it across the device's Server and Stream Key fields (via the front-panel menu or the device's setup utility, set to a Custom platform).

SRT

The Stream keys tab gives the SRT URL as a single string:

srt://<host>:9999?streamid=default/live/<key>

On the device you split it and drop the ?streamid= part — the streamid value goes in the Stream Key box on its own:

• Server: srt://<host>:9999
• Stream key: default/live/<key>

TIP

The Server is just srt://host:port. Everything after ?streamid= becomes the Stream Key — without the ?streamid= prefix.

RTMP

Straightforward — the server and key go in their own boxes:

• Server: rtmp://<host>:1935/live
• Stream key: <key>

Go live

Start streaming, and the room goes live and shows on the Dashboard.
