Give each feed a name.
Keep the field camera and backup feed recognizable, with a separate profile for each.
Create your stream links.
Keep an eye
on the feed.
Bring an incoming video feed into OBS. Give it a name, copy the links for each end, and see how the connection is doing.
Part of FRAME. Runs alongside Video Relay on your own computer.
01 Get to know the controls
Your feeds, in one view.
Name a stream, check its current measurements, and find the links you need to use it.
STREAM PROFILESActual interface · example data
See what is arriving.
Read the latest connection measurements. An offline feed shows unavailable values.
Keep its links together.
Find sender, player, and statistics links alongside the Overlays sources using that stream.
02 From sender to screen
A route for video.
A view of the connection.
Video Relay carries the feed. Stream Management creates its links and shows the connection information.
THE VIDEO FEED SRT / SRTLA in · SRT out
SEND VIDEO
Camera or encoder
A compatible device or app sends your feed using the publisher link.
ON YOUR FRAME COMPUTER
Video Relay
Receives the incoming feed and makes it available to a player.
RECEIVE VIDEO
OBS
Uses the SRT player link to bring the video into your production.
CONNECTION INFORMATION
The relay also reports statistics. You can check them yourself or show selected values on your broadcast.
CHECK THE FEED
Stream Management
Your stream profiles and their current measurements.
Overlays
Turn those measurements into an OBS Browser Source.
Stream Management is the control page; your video travels through Video Relay. Read about Video Relay
03 Two ends of one feed
One link sends.
One link receives.
FRAME calls these the publisher and the player. Stream Management keeps both ready to copy.
- OUT → Publisher link
- Goes in your sending device or app. Choose SRTLA or direct SRT to match what the sender supports.
- → IN Player link
- Goes in OBS or another compatible player. This is the link used to receive the feed from FRAME.
Your real publisher and player links contain private stream keys. Keep them within your setup.
04 Read the connection
“Live” is just the start.
A connected feed can still have changing measurements. Try three examples, then see what each number tells you.

Steady example: the feed is Live, with 6.2 Mbps arriving and no packets reported as dropped.
This simplified illustration runs entirely in the page. It does not connect to FRAME or OBS. The values are examples, not recommended settings or automatic quality thresholds.
Steady feed
The sample receives 6.2 Mbps, with a 42 ms round trip and no reported drops. “Live” tells you the source reports a connection.
Changing connection
The sample still says “Live,” but shows 2.4 Mbps, a 180 ms round trip, and 18 reported drops. Read the measurements together.
Offline feed
No connected feed is reported, so current readings are unavailable. Check the sender and its route to FRAME; this status alone does not tell you the cause.
What the numbers mean.
The real dashboard refreshes its readings regularly. Available measurements depend on the source.
- Bitrate
- How much video data is arriving.
- RTT
- Round-trip time: how long a trip out and back takes across the connection.
- Latency
- The relay’s reported latency. It is not a measurement of the full camera-to-viewer delay.
- Buffer
- The receive-buffer value reported by the relay.
- Dropped
- Packets the source reports as dropped.
- Uptime
- How long the current feed has been active.
05 Put the information to work
Useful beyond the dashboard.
Use a stream’s statistics in your broadcast or pass them to a compatible app.
See which overlays use this feed.
Bound overlays lists the Overlays sources linked to a stream, including whether each is enabled. Open the overlay editor to choose what appears and how it looks.
Share the readings.
Stats outputs provides read-only data links for supported apps. Choose FRAME’s native format or BBox Receiver compatibility, used by tools such as IRL+ Chat.
These are data links, not a video player or a public management page. Share only the statistics you intend to make accessible.
06 Set up your own feed
Start with the two ends.
You need a compatible sender, FRAME’s Video Relay, and OBS or another SRT player.
Read Stream Management setup- 01
Enable the tools in FRAME.
Use Guided setup to enable Video Relay and Stream Management together. Open Stream Management through Portal, or at
http://localhost/slsuion the FRAME computer. - 02
Name the stream and connect each end.
Add a stream profile. Put its publisher link in your sending app or device, then add the SRT player link to OBS using the setup guide.
- 03
Send a feed and check the readings.
Start the sender and check its profile. When you want connection information on screen, select that stream as the feed for an Overlays Source.
Use an address the device can reach.
The player link defaults to localhost for OBS on the FRAME computer. If OBS runs on another trusted local-network computer, replace that host with the FRAME computer’s LAN address. Your sender also needs a reachable address for the relay.
Give the video its own route.
A remote sender needs a configured relay host and a route that carries UDP video, such as suitable port forwarding or a VPN. FRAME’s Hybrid web tunnel does not carry SRT or SRTLA video.
Keep management controls local or behind appropriate access protection. Selected public statistics routes are separate. Check Video Relay’s network requirements.
