DXLive is an established premium webcam network popular in Japan and across Asia, built on a pay-per-minute model with a loyal audience. The performer area supports a standard external encoder path that free SplitCam connects to — letting you broadcast with multi-camera scenes, overlays and beauty filters instead of a single flat webcam.
SplitCam is free live-streaming software for Windows and macOS — no signup, no card, no watermark.
Open SplitCam and add your webcam. Layer in overlays, text, a second camera or your phone, beauty filters or an AI background.
Log in to your DXLive performer account and open the broadcast / external encoder settings. Copy the server URL and stream key.
In SplitCam open Stream Settings, paste the DXLive server URL and stream key into the custom RTMP fields. Set 3,500–6,000 Kbps at 1920×1080, 30 fps, with a 2-second keyframe.
Press Go Live in SplitCam, then go online from the performer area. Within ~10 seconds your stream reaches DXLive's audience.
DXLive's audience skews Japan/Asia and pays per minute. Time your shows to JST evenings and the loyal, paying base converts well.
A clean SplitCam scene with overlays and beauty filters stands out on a premium pay-per-minute network where viewers expect quality.
Routing through SplitCam's RTMP rather than the basic browser cam is what unlocks multi-camera scenes and filters.
Ethernet beats Wi-Fi for a long live show — a dropped frame is a dropped tip. Run a cable to the streaming PC.
Almost always the bitrate is higher than your upload can sustain. Run SplitCam's built-in speed test, then set the bitrate to about 75% of your measured upload — 3,500–6,000 Kbps for 1080p, lower for 720p. The lag clears once the encoder stops outrunning your connection.
Dropped frames mean packets aren't reaching DXLive in time — usually unstable Wi-Fi. Switch to a wired Ethernet connection, close bandwidth-heavy apps, and lower the bitrate a notch. One spike is fine; a steady climb means the connection can't keep up.
Your camera isn't selected as the active source in SplitCam, or another app is holding it. Close Zoom, Skype or OBS, pick your webcam again in SplitCam's source list, and confirm the preview shows your feed before you press Go Live.
Re-copy the stream key — a trailing space or an old, rotated key is the usual cause. Confirm the server URL matches the one DXLive shows and that external-encoder broadcasting is enabled on your account. A green slider in SplitCam's Stream Settings confirms a valid key.
Pick SplitCam as both the camera and the microphone, and select your real mic inside SplitCam's audio source. If audio drifts behind the video, lower the resolution one step — the encoder is overloaded and the audio is waiting on late frames.
Yes — the performer area exposes a standard external-encoder / RTMP path. Copy the server URL and stream key into SplitCam after verification.
In the performer area's broadcast / external-encoder settings — both the server URL and stream key appear there. Paste both into SplitCam's custom RTMP fields.
Push 1920×1080 at 30 fps, 3,500–6,000 Kbps with a 2-second keyframe interval. Run SplitCam's built-in speed test first.
Yes — SplitCam is free, no watermark and no time limit. DXLive's external-encoder option is free in the performer area.
Earnings on DXLive depend on audience size, hours streamed and tipping behaviour. Active broadcasters typically take home $200–$3,000 per month; top performers reach $10,000+. Your revenue share follows DXLive's commission structure — check the model agreement before going live.
DXLive requires age and ID verification before payout, which protects models from fraud. Use a stage name, never share personal data on camera, enable geo-blocks to hide your stream from your home region, and treat every viewer request as transactional. SplitCam's overlays and AI background can also hide or replace your real surroundings.
DXLive typically requires a government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license or ID card), a selfie holding the ID, and a tax/payout form (W-9 for US, W-8BEN for non-US). Approval usually takes 24–72 hours; once approved you can go live the same day.
DXLive usually offers a mobile broadcaster app or a mobile-web broadcaster, but the experience is limited — no overlays, no second camera, no AI background. For full production quality, broadcast from a computer with SplitCam and use your phone as a second camera (SplitCam accepts IP-camera input from phones).
Yes — DXLive provides an RTMP server URL and a stream key in the broadcaster panel. Paste both into SplitCam's Stream Settings → Custom RTMP, set 1920×1080 at 30 fps with a 4,000–5,000 Kbps bitrate, and click Go Live. The Custom RTMP route gives you full SplitCam scene composition (multi-camera, overlays, filters).
Free software. No watermark, no signup. Set up once, go live in one click.
