Source-Live Pro LL at a first glance
When you first open Source-Live Pro LL, you will see the following application interface. By default, there will not be any image, we have added it for the purpose of this article:
- Broadcast preview: the source you have selected in menu (7) will be displayed in the broadcast preview (an image, input device, screen or window).
- Start streaming button: clicking the button will start a new session which users will see via the Gateway (Source-Live or Source-Nexus). Once you click the button, it will change to “STOP STREAMING”.
- Streaming timeline: a read-only display of the Source-Live transmission in HH:MM:SS.
