13) Custom LUT Filter
Those who deal with photos and video will already know that a LUT is a filter that gives color effects to photos/video in a very simple way.
OBS Studio has a LUT application filter function, so it gives various effects to all sources with graghic.
The same function could be used in PRISM Live Studio, and from this version, in addition to the LUT filters provided by PRISM Live Studio, filters created by the user can also be used.
We will share the specific usage method as follows, so please refer to it :)
Add ‘Apply LUT’ filter in the filter window of the source -> Click the ‘Browse’ button in the path to select a provided LUT filter. Custom LUTs can also be found and used by saving them to that folder.
14) Custom FFmpeg options in media sources
After adding a video source, a custom FFmpeg option is provided in the source properties window.
15) Suppor for SRT/RIST protocol transmission
In the previous PRISM Live Studio, only RTMP transmission was supported, but now SRT/RIST protocol is also supported. Please refer to the setting method as follows.
- Stream SRT or RIST using the Streaming output
1)Add My Channel -> Add Custom Channel
2) Choose a URL format from the dropdown and enter the content
2. Besides the above methods, we also support streaming SRT or RIST using the Streaming output. You can set it by referring to the link below (https://obsproject.com/wiki/Streaming-With-SRT-Or-RIST-Protocols) for the exact method, so please refer to it.
16) Support for YouTube HDR live streaming
With YouTube live streaming, you can stream High Dynamic Range (HDR) videos that show sharper, more realistic colors.
Let’s first look at the requirements for streaming HDR content. Here are the requirements for live streaming HDR game content:
To live stream HDR gaming content, you need to:
- Play a game that supports HDR output.
- Turn on HDR in the game’s settings.
- Use a monitor or TV that supports HDR.
- Use a compatible encoder.
To live stream other HDR video content, you need to:
- Use a compatible encoder.
- Use a camera that supports HDR video with either the PQ or HLG color standards. Check your camera’s manual to see if these standards are supported.
If the above conditions are satisfied, we will share the setting method as a recommendation as shown below, so set it up and try a HDR broadcast :D
In PRISM Live Studio, YouTube HDR live is supported only for single transmission, so please turn off other platforms or set them to off before setting up broadcasting!
▪ Open the setting window after linking YouTube channel -> Select ‘Output’ tab -> Select ‘YouTube-HLS’ in Service Layer -> Select ‘Primary or Backup Youtube ingest Server’ in Server -> Select ‘Apple VT HEVC Encoder’ (required)
▪ Set the bit rate as high as possible (*The higher the bit rate, the better the transmission quality, but the higher the demand for network bandwidth)
▪ Select ‘Advanced’ tab of setting window -> Set color format to ‘P010’ -> Set color space to ‘Rec.2100(PQ)’ or ‘Rec.2100(HLG)’ -> Set color range to ‘Full’ (required )
▪ Setup complete -> Now try to stream with HDR!
