      Setting up XRAI Stream

      Personalized subtitles for diverse audiences with real-time transcription and translation. Perfect for any event, any size, anywhere.

      Before you proceed:

      To purchase a Streaming service for your venue, please reach out to us at enterprise@xrai.glass and our team will provide access to the XRAI Stream software. 

      Step One: Setting up XRAI Stream

      We've made it as simple as possible to connect XRAI Stream to your AV system in order to get the most accurate subtitles. 

      You will need (per stream/room):

      • A reliable internet connection
      • A device to broadcast subtitles (a tablet, smartphone or laptop) with XRAI Stream installed on it, which will be used for the live subtitles during the event.
      • If required, a USB-C hub to allow you to connect multiple devices to your tablet.

      Connect the devices together as shown below:

      Step Two: Customizing the Event/Venue Name for the Stream

      1. In the bottom right of the app, click the quick settings icon, and then select the Stream tab.
      2. Change the XRAI Stream mode to Publish
      3. Select whether you want the subtitles to be broadcast just to the local network (only accessible through the XRAI Glass app), or whether you would also like them broadcast to the Cloud (accessible through the app, or just a browser with XRAI Go).
      4. Modify the Stream display name and Stream unique ID as appropriate to whatever you would like 

      If you wish to change advanced settings (such as customizing the splash image), follow these instructions

      1. In the upper right corner in the XRAI Stream app, click on the profile icon.
      2. Go to Settings
      3. Tap the version number 10 times to enable developer settings.
      4. Modify the Stream image to customize the splash screen that users see when they connect to the stream. Be sure the URL is available over the internet.
      5. If you want to broadcast multiple streams simultaneously on the local network, select a unique Stream multicast port for each stream.
      6. You will find various other advanced options you can modify. Please reach out for help with these.

      Step Three: Streaming your event

      To stream your event is no different to how you would normally use the app. Simply select the correct settings as usual, and hit the microphone to begin subtitles.

      The only difference with XRAI Stream is that any XRAI Glass apps connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the XRAI Stream Server will get a pop-up inviting them to join one of the Streams. When they click on it, the stream will be set as the Selected audio source:

      If you don't want users to have to download the app and want a quick way of sharing access to same-language subtitles, just browse to:

      https://go.xrai.glass/[Stream unique Id] for example: https://go.xrai.glass/mystream 

       

      And relax. Your event is now being streamed in 140 different languages, all by magic.
