## Ultra Encode

The [Magewell Ultra Encode](https://www.magewell.com/ultra-encode) supports broadcasting RTMP streams, which can be ingested by the Dolby.io Real-time Streaming service.

To begin, first power on your Ultra Encode, connect it to the internet (Ethernet or WiFi), and connect your video capture device. Once connected, [log in](https://www.magewell.com/files/documents/User_Manual/ultra_encode_user_manual_en.pdf) to the Ultra Encode dashboard and navigate to the `Streaming Server` tab on the left side panel. Inside of `Streaming Server` click the `+ Add Server` button and select `RTMP`.

  RTMP URL: `rtmps://rtmp.<my-channel-region>.theo.live/live`
* For the `Stream key` input the **Stream key** from the ingest server section.
