Using the RTMP Input
Quortex supports RTMP and RTMPS as input protocols. Although it offers less flexibility and resiliency than SRT, RTMP is still widely available and can be used for ingesting your stream. You can check this article if you want to learn more about SRT and RTMP protocols. Selecting RTMP When using RTMP, the endpoint will be automatically created by the platform. Hence, you don't have any parameter to enter. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/9845223dbfb4e800/rtmpinput_1j9dumuFew readers
