Live Streaming Production Training

Production-grade training for live streaming teams. Encoder configuration, ingest protocols, cloud origin setup, low-latency delivery and multi-platform distribution — hands-on from day one.

Course Modules

Live Streaming ArchitectureSignal chain from camera to viewer — capture, encode, ingest, origin, CDN and player. Understanding every link and what happens when one fails.

Encoder Software — OBS, vMix, WirecastScene setup, source configuration, audio mixing, output settings and stream keys. Practical hands-on sessions with each platform side by side.

Ingest Protocols — RTMP, SRT, RISTRTMP vs SRT vs RIST comparison — when to use each, connection setup, bitrate headroom and packet-loss resilience on unreliable networks.

AWS MediaLive Channel SetupInput redundancy, output groups (HLS, DASH, RTMP), channel scheduling, alert configuration and cost management for 24/7 channels vs event-based.

Low-Latency HLS (LL-HLS)Partial segment delivery, playlist delta updates and blocking manifest reload. Configuration in AWS MediaPackage and CDN cache behaviour for sub-5s latency.

Multi-Platform DistributionSimultaneous streaming to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Restream, LinkedIn Live and custom RTMP endpoints — from a single encoder without quality compromise.

Redundancy & FailoverActive-active encoder redundancy, backup ingest endpoints, automatic failover in MediaLive and runbook design so failures don't become outages.

Live QA & MonitoringStream health dashboards, video quality monitoring, audio sync verification and viewer-side QoE metrics — what to watch and when to act during live events.

Learning Outcomes

Production-Ready Encoder Config

Leave with a working OBS/vMix/Wirecast configuration tuned for your network, resolution targets and destination platforms — not a generic preset.

Cloud Origin Competence

Set up and manage AWS MediaLive + MediaPackage channels, understand cost levers, interpret CloudWatch alarms and respond to live alerts during events.

Low-Latency Delivery

Configure LL-HLS end-to-end and understand the CDN cache settings that determine whether you hit 2–5 second latency or fall back to 30+ seconds.

Resilient Production Workflow

Design and test encoder redundancy so a single hardware or network failure doesn't take the stream down — a documented runbook your team can follow.

Who Should Attend

Live Production Teams

Stream operators and broadcast engineers responsible for event production who need structured knowledge of the full signal chain — not just one part of it.

Cloud Streaming Engineers

Engineers managing AWS MediaLive and MediaPackage deployments who want deeper hands-on operational knowledge beyond what the AWS console teaches.

Event & Sports Broadcasters

Teams producing recurring live events, sports or corporate broadcasts who need a reliable, repeatable production workflow that survives real-world conditions.
