blackbird's publish module
enables you to set up video audio and
data delivery
with numerous formats and destinations
including social platforms
your existing storage infrastructure and
public cloud services
blackbird introduces an interactive node
graph
which will assist you with visualizing
your publishing flow
enabling multiple published processes
from a source
and creating multiple published
destinations
from a source or process here's how it
works
access your account's publish module in
the blackbird control center
through the gear cog or publishing
button you will see the publishing cards
that are created
choose a publish and double-click on it
a node graph
can be accessed even if the publishing
card
is not created these nodes can be
repositioned
this has no bearing on the publishing
only the linked order matters
nodes are color coded and arranged in
columns
for easy identification sources are red
formats are dark purple destinations
are orange and notifications are amber
notice how the flow is from left to
right
from source to format from format to
destination
and an optional final node for
notifications
on nodes you will find outputs that are
always indicated with a green circle
and these can be connected to any number
of white
input circles when the types allow when
you click on any node
notice the configuration of the node is
indicated on the right hand side of the
control center
and the details will change depending on
the node that is clicked
at this point you can change the source
format or destination details as
required
once you're satisfied with the whole
graph click the save button
at the bottom of the screen to close the
node graph
simply click away from it the standard
of single source
to a single destination is designed as a
basic setup
in the next node graph tutorial i will
discuss
adding new nodes for formats
destinations
and notifications as well as more
complex publishing
that have multiple formats and
deliveries from a single
publish button
