Audio can go no higher than 128 Kbps.
Connecting and Accessing Your CUBE
Toggle the black button to Network Setup.
Make sure your Cube is connected and has access to the internet.
Check the status of your network, whether you’re using WiFi, ethernet, or 3G and remember the IP address.
To connect to the Cube’s web interface, on your computer, type in the IP address of the network that Cube is connected to.
The default password to the login is admin.
Using the Web UI
In the web UI, under the video setup dropdown menu, go to Stream Settings.
Under Stream Mode, choose Live Internet Streaming.
Under Service Provider, choose Facebook.
Now, you will need to authorize your Cube device to stream to Facebook. Click Authorize Device with Facebook. You must complete this part of the process before streaming.
A code will be generated for you as well as a link: www.facebook.com/device. Click the link and enter your code into the blank box.
Click Continue. Next, you will be asked to approve privacy settings, such as permission to post to your page and who can see your posts.
Be sure to select the permissions for Facebook to allow the Teradek to post at the ‘Public’ level. If this is set to a lower setting you will not be able to post to pages as all page content is public.
After you finish, click OK. Next, return to the Cube Web UI. Click Continue. Now you can customize your stream, such as which page to stream it to, title and privacy. After you finish, click Apply.
After your settings save, you will now be able to click Go Live! Click Go Live! when you are ready.
You are now live on Facebook!
