BoxCast and SlingStudio can work together to create your live event. There are 2 ways to connect your BoxCast account to SlingStudio.
Connecting BoxCast RTMP to SlingStudio:
Below are instructions on how to set this up from SlingStudio's website. https://www.myslingstudio.com/help
- Power up the SlingStudio.
- On your iPad, launch the Console app and connect it to the SlingStudio hotspot.
- Connect your SlingStudio unit to Internet:
- Ethernet cable: Connect a live Ethernet cable to the SlingStudio using the SlingStudio USB-C Expander product.
- Wi-Fi: In the Console app, go to Settings (on the left edge of the Console app) and tap Internet Settings.
- Choose a Wi-Fi network to connect to.
Note: You can also confirm the operation of the Ethernet connection here.
- Prepare the video sources that you want to use and connect them to the SlingStudio hotspot.
- Open a new Project, and give the project a name.
- Set your new project with these settings (remember that you can scroll up/down in the dialog box)
- Video production (resolution): For BoxCast streaming, this can be your choice.
- Video Sources Bitrate: Choose a video source bitrate setting. For 1080p you will want to select 5.0 Mbps, for 720p select 3.0 Mbps and for 480p select 1.5 Mbps.
- Program Output Bitrate: Choose a setting for the Program Output bit rate.For 1080p you will want to select 5.0 Mbps, for 720p select 3.0 Mbps and for 480p select 1.5 Mbps.
- ^ We would recommend choosing 2 - 5 Mbps depending on your network connection.
- At the bottom of the dialog box, tap the Live Broadcasting switch.
- At the bottom of the Live Broadcasting section, go to the Upload Speed line. Tap the circular arrow to test your current upload speed. After several seconds, the Console app determines what the current upload speed is.
- Divide this Upload Speed figure approximately in half, and use that figure to refine the Program Output bitrate setting (from Step 6c above). Half the Upload Speed is a good number to start with. Lower settings can offer lower video quality … but also broadcasting with fewer skips. Higher settings offer the reverse.
Note: You can't change this setting once the project has been created. - Down in the LIVE BROADCASTING section, tap BROADCAST DESTINATION.
- Select Custom RTMP.
- Select Add New RTMP.
- You do not need to add a title and cannot insert your BoxCast Server URL and Stream Key.

- This can be found in the settings of the BoxCast dashboard if enabled on your account.
