  • Page 14: Mpeg-4 Protocols And Communication Methods

    AXIS 233D - Video Streams MPEG-4 protocols and communication methods To deliver live streaming video over IP networks, various combinations of transport protocols and broadcast methods are employed. • RTP (Realtime Transport Protocol) is a protocol that allows programs to manage the real-time transmission of multimedia data, via unicast or multicast.
  • Page 15 AXIS 233D - Video Streams How to stream MPEG-4 Deciding on the combination of protocols and methods to use depends on your viewing requirements, and on the properties of your network. RTP+RTSP This method (actually RTP over UDP and RTSP over TCP) should be your first consideration for live video, especially when it is important to always have an up-to-date video stream, even if some images do get dropped.
