Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the SATLINK 6900 encoder stream to YouTube and Facebook Live simultaneously?

A: The SATLINK 6900 supports RTMP and RTMPS protocols, which are used by YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Twitch, and most major streaming platforms. For simultaneous multi-platform streaming, you would typically use a stream replication service or CDN alongside the encoder's multiple sub-stream outputs.

Q: Does the HDMI loop output affect the quality of the input signal?

A: No. The HDMI loop output passes the source signal through at the same resolution and frame rate as the input — up to 3840×2160P60 (4K60) — without any degradation. Your connected monitor receives the full-quality signal while encoding happens independently.

Q: What streaming protocols does the SATLINK 6900 support?

A: The encoder supports a comprehensive range: RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, HTTP TS, HTTP FLV, HLS TS, HLS MP4, MP4, SRT, UDP, and RTP — making it compatible with virtually any IP video platform, NVR, or CDN infrastructure.

Q: Is ONVIF integration difficult to set up?

A: Not at all. The SATLINK 6900 supports ONVIF natively, allowing compatible NVR systems and video management software (VMS) to discover and access the encoder's streams automatically — no manual IP configuration required on the NVR side.
