One-way Streaming This IP camera provides two kinds of one-way(unidirectional) streaming based on UDP to clients: and MPEG-TS . Both are a kind of broadcasting where tra c from client to server is not generated at all. RTP (Real-Time Transport Protoco l) is an Internet protocol used for transmitting single real-time multimedia data such as audio and video to a select group of connected clients.
Page 30
MPEG-TS is a standard format for transmission and storage of audio, video, and data,[7] and is used in broadcast systems such as DVB and ATSC. Transport Stream is speci ed in MPEG-2 Part 1, Systems (formally known as ISO/IEC standard 13818-1 or ITU-T Rec. H.222.0). Transport stream speci es a container format encapsulating packetized elementary streams, with error correction and stream synchronization features for maintaining transmission integrity when the signal is degraded.
