13.3 Unicast and multicast

FLIR AX series cameras support both unicast and multicast streams.
A maximum of three unicast streams (using UDP) are supported. Note that the stream
shown on the user web page counts as a unicast stream.
Streaming using TCP is supported for unicast streams. TCP streaming uses port 554.
Multicast streams use the fixed multicast address 224.2.0.1. At least 16 clients can share
the multicast stream.

13.4 Image streams

The following URLs can be used to establish streaming sessions with FLIR AX series
cameras:
• rtsp://<ip>/avc
• rtsp://<ip>/mpeg4
• rtsp://<ip>/mjpg
• avc = H264 encoding with overlay graphics
• mpeg4 = MPEG4 encoding with overlay graphics
• mjpg = Motion JPEG encoding with overlay graphics
If you do not want an overlay in the image stream, use the following URLs:
• rtsp://<ip-address>/avc?overlay=off
• rtsp://<ip-address>/mpeg4?overlay=off
• rtsp://<ip-address>/mjpg?overlay=off
The stream resolution is 640 × 480. The bitrate is set to 3 Mbit/s (default), which means
that the compression factor will vary according to the color palette chosen and the scene
contents.
The infrared detector has a resolution of 80 × 60, which means that the infrared image
contents will be upsampled to 640 × 480.
A radiometric uncompressed 16-bit stream is not available.
