Parameters
The Basic View configuration parameters are as follows:
 Enabled: This allows the output stream to be enabled or disabled. If it is disabled, no
packet transmission takes place. This feature is provided for testing purposes (i.e.,
temporarily disable an output for fault-finding). Most users will leave the stream enabled.
 UDP Port: selects the UDP port to transmit to. Valid values are between 1 and 65535.
Note that, in traditional IP networks, UDP ports between 1 and 1023 are reserved for
administrative uses. Niagara Video recommends the use of UDP ports 1024 and higher.
The B264, however, will accept any legal value. Note that if the port is configured for
RTP (see the Advanced View discussion later in this section), the UDP port must be an
even number, and the B264 user interface will enforce this restriction – odd numbers will
be automatically rounded up.
 Destination Address: selects the IP address to transmit to. Any unicast or multicast
address can be entered here, with the exception of the loopback range (127.0.0.0 to
127.255.255.255). The B264 will also accept the broadcast IP address of
255.255.255.255, and will transmit the packets as Ethernet broadcasts. Use of broadcasts,
however, is strongly discouraged.
