 As an Azure Media Services on-premises encoder partner, Media Services promotes your product by recommending your encoder to enterprise customers. To become an on-premises encoder partner, you must verify compatibility of your on-premises encoder with Media Services. To do so, complete the following verifications.

 Follow the same steps as in [Pass-through Live Event verification](#pass-through-live-event-verification) except for step 11. <br/>Instead of 10 minutes, run your live encoder for one week or longer. Use a player such as [Azure Media Player](https://aka.ms/azuremediaplayer) to watch the live streaming from time to time (or an archived asset) to ensure that playback has no visible glitches.

 Finally, email your recorded settings and live archive parameters to Azure Media Services at [email protected] as a notification that all self-verification checks have passed. Also, include your contact information for any follow-ups. You can contact the Azure Media Services team with any questions about this process.

 In Azure Media Services, a [Live Event](https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/media/liveevents) (channel) represents a pipeline for processing live-streaming content. The Live Event receives live input streams in one of two ways.
 
 * An on-premises live encoder sends a multi-bitrate RTMP or Smooth Streaming (fragmented MP4) stream to the Live Event that is not enabled to perform live encoding with Media Services. The ingested streams pass through Live Events without any further processing. This method is called **pass-through**. We recommend for the live encoder to send multi-bitrate streams instead of a single-bitrate stream to a pass-through live event to allow for adaptive bitrate streaming to the client. 
 
     If you are using multi-bitrates streams for the pass-through live event, the video GOP size and the video fragments on different bitrates must be synchronized to avoid unexpected behavior on the playback side.
 
-  > [!NOTE]
+  > [!TIP]
   > Using a pass-through method is the most economical way to do live streaming.
  
 * An on-premises live encoder sends a single-bitrate stream to the Live Event that is enabled to perform live encoding with Media Services in one of the following formats: RTMP or Smooth Streaming (fragmented MP4). The Live Event then performs live encoding of the incoming single-bitrate stream to a multi-bitrate (adaptive) video stream.
