Hyperion to Hyperion streaming

Streaming from one Hyperion Engine to another is a great way to ensure your stream arrives at its destination reliably and in high quality. When streaming over the Internet, packet loss can be a problem. To avoid this, using custom ingest and end points with Hyperion Engines can route your video feed away from problematic regions that may cause your video feed to degrade.

To get started, select Destinations, Channels, and then click on Hyperion. In this case, we already have a Self-Hosted Hyperion running so we type in its IP Address under Host and then its Port number.

Add your second Hyperion Engine (or more, if need be). It does not matter if they are Self-Hosted or Cloud-Hosted.

Once your Hyperion Engines are launched, create a Channel destination for Hyperion 1 (typically your ingest point). On the Hyperion 1 Details page (Engines --> Hyperion --> Hyperion 1), take note of the IP address and port number under Network.

Go to Destinations, then Channels, and click Create. 

Select Hyperion and paste the IP address and Port information in from Hyperion 1.

Navigate to your encoder's detail page by selecting it from the Dashboard. Click Add under Channels and select Hyperion 1.

Now head to Sources from the left menu and select Hyperion 1. Under Channels, click Add and select Hyperion 2 (typically your end point). 

Navigate back to your Encoder Detail page by selecting it from the Dashboard. Click Go Live on Hyperion 1 under Channels. 

Finally, navigate to Hyperion 1 from the Dashboard and click Go Live on Hyperion 2 (under Channels). 

You have now configured a Hyperion to Hyperion transfer. You may continue to add additional Hyperion Engines to this chain, if required.

To complete your stream, add decoders and/or online video platform destinations to Hyperion 2's Channels (on the Hyperion Engine Details page -- simply select Hyperion 2 from the Dashboard). Be sure to click Go Live on each of your destinations under Hyperion 2!
