What You’ll Need:

- BrightSign player

Publishing Real-Time Video Streaming (RTSP)
- Once you have logged into your account, navigate to “Add Media”. Select “General” and then click on the logo “</>”. This will allow you to create a new HTML / Rich Text.
- Select the “HTML-CSS” tab. Copy and paste the following code into the “HTML” box, replacing STREAM_URL_HERE with the rtsp://URL:
<video src=”STREAM_URL_HERE” x-bs-stream-timeout=”0″ hwz=”on”> rtsp stream should appear here</video>
- Copy and paste the following code into the “CSS” box:
video {
position: fixed;
width: 100%; height: 100%;
left: 0; top: 0;
}
- Give the new media item a name, and save it. This is done in the “Name/Title” section. You can now use the HTML / Rich Text media you created in any schedule, playlist, or template, to play back the RTSP content.
