Tab Description
for the saved SDP file.
Remember to disable multicasting by entering the IP address of the
computer where you want to send the stream in the Destination field.
• For example, save the SDP file to a shared folder on the local drive if you want
another computer to view the stream.
• The other computer can open the SDP file and play the stream in Quicktime or
other MPEG-4-compatible streaming player.
• Developers recommend that you avoid trying to view the stream on the same
system where the Niagara SCX encoder resides unless you have a very powerful
system (dual-core processors or better) since MPEG-4 encoding can be CPU
intensive.
• Doing so may overtax the host CPU, cause video quality degradation, and
encode system failure.

• SimulStream, a purchased software option, applies to Osprey Video capture
cards.
• It makes a single hardware device appear as several separate devices while
capturing the same input stream.
• Each stream can have its own:
— Size — Watermark
— Color format — Caption
— Frame rate — Size
