In order to start streaming with the Multisite Platform, the only hardware that is required is an encoder at your broadcast site and a decoder at the receiving site. However, many organizations may choose to also have a decoder at their broadcast site. A decoder at the broadcast site is not necessary for the system to operate reliably, but it is great for:
Resi’s hardware encoders and decoders support up to 16 channels of audio embedded on the SDI or HDMI inputs/outputs. An audio de-embedder such as this one is used to provide an analog/digital audio output to interface with your audio system.
Resi’s platform ensures that every frame of video data makes it from encoders to decoders perfectly, even through inconsistencies in connection at the broadcast and receiving sites. However, in order to ensure that there are no delays causing data to get to the cloud within a reasonable delay, 2.5x your streaming bitrate is recommended for upload bandwidth at the broadcast site and download bandwidth at receiving sites. When your connection experiences packet loss, this allows the encoder to re-send data and/or decoders to re-download data faster than real-time so your audience doesn’t notice a thing!Â
For typical resolutions, this means:
720p: 4-8Mbps
1080p: 10-12Mbps
Don’t have this? You still may be able to stream. Contact us to talk about your setup.
Resi is built to provide an enterprise-level broadcast experience without the cost of dedicated connections and expensive IT infrastructure. This means that now, any organization can have the same quality and reliability previously only available to big corporations and sports teams, even on public internet connections.
In order to do this, Resi’s platforms take advantage of a short delay in order to check and re-send data until it is verified as perfect by the destination, something only possible through Resi’s Resilient Streaming Protocol. For the Multisite Platform, the minimum delay between encode (broadcast venue) and decode (receiving venues) is about 30 seconds, and every second that is added exponentially increases your resiliency. Â
Because of this, we recommend a 5-minute delay on public internet connections, as this point achieves 99.9999% resiliency over typical connections, equal to that of dedicated connections. However, if you have a good connection, you can feel comfortable using a bit less; or if you have a worse connection (such as a cellular hotspot), you can add a bit more to compensate. If you have a dedicated connection between venues, we recommend a 1-minute delay.Â
We understand that low latency is important, and we have built our systems on ultra-fast transcoding technology in order to provide highly resilient streaming at the lowest delay possible, which is going down all the time. For most organizations, the tradeoff of a short delay is worth eliminating disruptions and having a 100% reliable stream!
An SDI video input is similar to HDMI but can travel over much longer distances and is a much more robust video standard thanks to its ability to carry more data and locking connectors.Â
 Using an HDMI source? No worries! An HDMI to SDI converter like the ones below can be used to convert your HDMI source to SDI, and start at around $40. Make sure to also get an SDI cable to connect your converter to the encoder.
Blackmagic Micro Converter ($39)
Blackmagic Mini Converter ($145)
AJA HDMI to SDI ($345)
Resi’s hardware encoders support up to 16 channels of audio embedded on the SDI or HDMI input. If you’re using a switcher with audio inputs or have audio running into your video source, you’re already set. If not, an audio embedder can be used to combine your audio with video before it comes into the encoder with SDI, or an HDMI to SDI converter like this one can convert your source to SDI and embed stereo audio with one device.

About 60% of our customers who are streaming to both physical sites and web will use separate encoders for two reasons:
For these reasons, we recommend unique encoders if possible, but it is possible to stream to both with a single device.
