Step 1: Log in to Your nanoStream Account
Begin by accessing your nanoStream account via dashboard.nanostream.cloud. When creating a stream, you can add a tag, assign transcoding profiles, and manage stream groups for better organization.
Once your stream is created, you’ll receive the stream ingest data required for the next step on the encoder.
Step 2: Access the Prism User Interface
Open a web browser on a device connected to the same network as the Prism encoder and enter the IP address of the encoder in the address bar. You can find the IP address on the device itself, either on the display screen or through the network settings menu. Consult the devices support documentation for the default password.
Step 3: Update Your Video Settings
The following are recommended default settings. The choice of the resolution and bitrate is highly dependent on your requirements and expected quality results. It is highly recommended to run your own tests based on the content you will be streaming. For more guidance on the best settings we recommend reading our documentation on Live Encoding.
Step 3A: Change Number of Slices to 1.
While in the video settings window, select the Advanced dropdown and change the default for Number of Slices to 1.
Step 4: Choose Your Streaming Protocol (RTMP or SRT)
SRT is the recommended streaming protocol for it’s reliability, lower latency and resilience to network issues in environments with unstable internet connections.
Select STREAMING from the left column of the user interface and select SRT or RTMP from the STREAM MODE drop-down menu.

Interface: Auto
Select the green SAVE button at the bottom to save your settings. Streaming will begin immediately.
RTMP Setup:
Update the settings to the following:
Channel Name: Leave blank
Server URL: Copy and paste “RTMP Ingest URL” from your nanoStream Dashboard. (See Step 1)
Stream Key: Copy and paste “RTMP Ingest Streamname” from your nanoStream Dashboard (See Step 1)
If authentication is required, input your Username and Password.
Select the green SAVE button at the bottom to save your settings.
