Hello,

i’m using Wowza Streaming Engine with a Cube-155.

My problem / question. Once the connection is lost, I would like to display an image on the broadcast side. with the text “please wait, video is coming back.”

And as soon as the input of the cube-155 comes back, the stream is automatically visible.

Is this possible. If so how can I set it up.

Mark

You cannot really display an image on the broadcast side. This is something you could do with the player config. You can however broadcast a video with a static picture (resembling an image) while the live stream is not available. This is accomplished with wowza configuration - [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-loop-a-pre-roll-until-a-live-stream-starts-loopuntillive](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-loop-a-pre-roll-until-a-live-stream-starts-loopuntillive)
