Smoothstreamer

Smoothstreamer is a free streaming app that lets you stream events with the scoreboard and the Tale of the Tape embedded automatically.

Note: Smoothstreamer is intended for event organizers, not individual athletes or users.

Using it is simple as:

1. Create the stream (learn how to here)
2. Scan the QR code
3. Tap "record"

Installing the app

Smoothstreamer is a free app available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Starting the stream 

• As event organizer, go to event Settings → Livestream
• Find the stream (or create the) and click "Smoothstreamer App"
  If you didn't create any streams yet see Livestreaming: Getting started »
  
• Scan the QR code. It can be scanned by the device's camera app but it's even easier to to scan it directly in Smoothstreamer. Just open Smoothstreamer and point the camera to the QR code.
• Tap "record" (the red circle seen above) when you are ready to start the stream!
  That's it! Easy as that! The scoreboard and "the Tale of the Tape" will be overlayed automatically once you open a scoreboard on the same mat/ring!

Settings is not reachable during a stream. Set it before the stream, or stop the current stream. These settings includes video quality and encoder settings. More information below.

Options

Options can be changed during the stream (without stopping the stream). 

• Camera → Torch allows you to turn on the flash light.
• Camera → Exposure comp allows you to increase/decrease the exposure (brightness) of the image.
• Camera → Zoom allows you to change camera on the device (if multiple cameras) and zoom digitally.
• Camera → Color temperature is helpful if you find the image too cold or warm.
• Overlays let's you manually turn on/off the overlays (scoreboard and the Tale of the Tapes).
• Audio → Input gain allows you to increase/decrease the outgoing audio volume.
• Audio → Active input/preferred input allows you to select an external microphone for professional audio.

Settings

There are plenty of advanced settings. We will cover the most important ones here:

• Video → Resolution allows you to select the resolution. The higher resolution the more pixels and better image. The higher resolution the more bandwidth (internet upload speed) is needed. 
• Video → Bitrate specifies how much data (internet upload speed) that will be used. The more the better quality, but will also require more data (internet upload speed).
• Video → Format allows you to select format where h264 is the standard. On Apple devices it's possible to select HEVC which is more effective than h264 (better quality with less amount of bandwidth). We recommend that you select this option if your platform has support for it. 
• Audio allows you to select default microphones and set audio channels as well as bitrates etc.
• Record allows you to record the video and save it locally on the device. 
• Advanced allows you to set Max. active connections and other advanced settings.
