Bits per second. This parameter reports the calculated total system bit
rate, in bits per second. It includes video and audio (if enabled) along
with packet header overhead.
SDP, or Session Description Protocol files, contain information about
the format, timing, and authorship of the streamed media. SDP files
are created on the VBrick appliance during streaming. In most cases
the SDP file should not be modified manually; however, under some
circumstances that might be necessary. If the steamed content
changes, the SDP file can be deleted and re-created.
When the SDP file is saved, it is not saved with an extension (*.sdp).
The reason is that if the file has an extension, Internet Explorer will
run the file instead of allowing it to be saved. If it is necessary for the
file to be recognized by non-VBrick decoders, the .sdp extension can
be added manually.
This is the Destination IP Address or DNS Host Name of the
encoded video. When Loopback is enabled the IP Address is set to
127.0.0.1, disable Loopback in order to change this field. The Host
Name should be the Fully Qualified Domain Name. If the name is not
available to the system it will use the Destination IP Address of
127.0.0.1. When this is a Multicast address, the transmit mode reports
Multicast. Similarly, if this is a Unicast address, the transmit mode
reports Unicast. Note that multicast addresses in the 232/8 (232.0.0.0
to 232.255.255.255) range are reserved for source-specific multicast.
Note: The Host Name is resolved using the primary or secondary
domain name server set in Network: Configuration. 127.0.0.1 is used
if it cannot be resolved, or if the entry for DNS is blank.
This read-only parameter informs the operator of the IP Address for
the DNS Host Name input into the Destination IP Address or Host
Name Field.
This is the destination IP port of the network device that will be
receiving the encoded video.
This is the destination IP port of the network device that will be
receiving the encoded audio.
This is the destination IP port of the network device that will be
receiving the encoded closed captioning.
This is the number of frames of closed caption frames (access units)
that are placed in each RTP packet. Since each closed caption frame is
small, if multiple Aus are placed in a single RTP packet the bandwidth
efficiency is improved at the cost of additional latency.
This read-only parameter (derived from the Destination IP Address)
tells you whether the encoder is transmitting the video stream in
Unicast or Multicast mode. In Unicast mode, if the network portion of
the IP address is outside the scope of the local area network, the
Unicast address is presumed to be outside the network.
The number of hops (between routers) for which an IP packet is valid
on the network.
