Operation Manual

 Port: This field is only displayed if RTMP Port Selection is set to Specific Port.

Configure a non-standard TCP port here.

 RTMP App: any arbitrary name can be used here. Configure the exact same name in the

encoder.

 RTMP Stream: this field is fixed at livestream. Configure this name in the encoder.

RTSP Client

In RTSP Client mode, the decoder will connect to an RTSP server (specified by an rtsp://

URL), request a stream, and play the stream. This mode is intended primary to support devices

such as IP Cameras. The configuration parameters are as follows:

The parameters are:

 RTSP URL: Enter the full RTSP URL to access the RTSP server. Please consult the

RTSP server vendor to find out what to enter here. A comprehensive list of URLs from

the various IP Camera manufacturers can be found in this link.

 TCP Transport: Standard RTSP uses a TCP connection to negotiate the streaming, and

RTP/UDP on a dynamically-allocated port for the video content. This mode of operation

is compatible with all RTSP devices, but it does not work well over the Internet nor can it

go across most firewalls. Many RTSP cameras support tunneling the video over the

control TCP connection, which works a lot better in complex networks, at the expense of

increased latency. If this box is checked, the BRD will request this tunnel mode. If this

mode works with your camera, it is preferred.

 Authentication: Some RTSP devices can be configured to require username/password

authentication. Select Yes if this is the case. The following additional options are

displayed.

 Username: enter the username expected by the RTSP device.

 Password: enter the password expected by the RTSP device.

 RTSP Reconnect: if this button is clicked, the BRD drops the RTSP connection and re-

creates it.

RTSP support in the BRD has the following limitations:

 No audio support.

 For video, only H.264 compression is supported.

 No support for encrypted passwords.
