Set up LIVE
We recommend that you start the LIVE platform at a minimum of 1 hour before the start of your game or event, to ensure there’s plenty of time to connect your streams and prepare your production.
Before any production, it is recommended to:
- Identify your camera(s) or video source(s) and determine how you plan to connect those to your LIVE environment.
- Determine if you want to use LIVE’s built in graphic templates, create your own graphics, or contract with a creative team to make graphics for you.
- Provision the right amount of production time of LIVE you will need to cover your event (including perhaps pre-game and post-game).
- Review this document to ensure your environment is ready for your production!
Getting access to LIVE
- Contact Chyron or your admin to get:
- your user ID with login credentials
- access key IDs for upload access
- Go to your instance of LIVE to log in.
- Example: xyz.live.chyron.com
