Introduction
Kaltura and Kollective have integrated to allow streaming using Kollective’s peer-to-peer eCDN technology. The integration supports the creation, configuration, publication, and consumption of Kaltura entries using the Kaltura Player in combination with Kollective.
KMS Admin has added support for Kollective eCDN streaming using a dedicated KMS module, Kollectivestreaming. This module ensures the Kollective service is available for entries where streaming takes place using Kollective.
For the user guide, see Enable Kollective On an Entry.
To proceed with the steps in this article, you must have a fully configured Kollective eCDN setup. Installing, configuring, and deploying the Kollective eCDN is beyond the scope of this article. For information about implementing the Kollective ECDN in your environment, see Kollective PoC Guide - Kaltura MediaSpace.pdf
