Disseminating a 360° video stream live

This guide explains how to make a 360° live with the video streaming service of Infomaniak.

Prerequisites

• Have a 360 camera compatible with one of the following formats:
  • equirectangular 360 monoscopic (2D)
  • equirectangular 360 stereoscopic (3D) side by side (left/right separation)
  • equirectangular 360 stereoscopic (3D) top/bottom (top/bottom separation)
• Your encoder or camera must also be able to send a flow via a RTMP connection (learn more).
• Finally, note that a 360° video stream requires a source with a high bitrate and a flow control set in mode CBR The bitrate will depend on the type of content and the consumption of data which will also be greater than with a standard stream.
