Set up your Streaming Endpoints

Once you have migrated all your assets, you are ready to create Streaming endpoints to enable them to be delivered your client applications.

Streaming Endpoints work exactly the same in MK.IO as they do in AMS. They are a dynamic just-in-time packager service and origin server that can format and deliver your live and file-based content to your client application. It’s a link between your assets and live streams and the URL that can be used to access your content. Streaming Endpoints can also enable content to be encrypted using industry standard DRMs. Support for DRM is already available in MK.IO.

Create a streaming endpoint following steps detailed in Streaming Endpoints.
