The Blackmagic Streaming Encoder device controls Blackmagic streaming encoders, so your show can set up its destination and, more importantly, tell you the moment the stream stops behaving.

​
Connection

Provide the encoder’s host and port. The reconciliation poll sets how often Fabl re-reads state to stay in step.

​
Commands

A raw request command is available for anything the Streaming API supports that is not listed here.

​
Triggers

The status trigger carries both the new status and the previous one, so a rule can tell an ordinary stop from an interruption and only raise an alarm for the second.
Status runs through Idle, Connecting, Streaming, Flushing and Interrupted. Flushing is normal at the end of a stream — do not treat it as a failure.

​
State

The device reports its connection state, stream status and whether it is streaming, the platform, server and quality, the video and effective video format, product name and software version, bitrate, stream duration, and cache usage.
