Add a Live Streaming Presentation Profile
A Presentation Profile is used by Event Admins to control devices during the Webcast. Once you have added the Encoder and DME you configured as devices in Rev, you are ready to create a Presentation Profile to use in your Webcast Events that utilizes both of them. The encoder will be used as the video source while the DME will be the destination with the streaming URLs.
To add a Presentation Profile:1. Navigate to Admin > Devices > Presentation Profiles > Add a Presentation Profile button.
2. Complete each section of the Presentation Profile form detailed below and click Create.
