| Output URL | Yes | Each output resolution requires a different and unique address. |
When Single URL Mode is disabled, Bitstreams will automatically decide if Enhanced RTMP needs to be used depending on the template selected. If the template has only one H.264 video stream and one AAC audio stream, then Bitstreams will use legacy RTMP, if a different video codec or multiple audio channels are configured in the template then Enhanced RTMP will be used.
When Enhanced RTMP is used, the upstream RTMP server will need to support enhanced RTMP as well.
Currently SRT Push only operates in caller mode.
