system name (e.g., \\fileserver\c\videos). If you simply enter a file name, you may inadvertently
browse your local computer when the media file resides on the remote computer.
To stream your MPEG-4 content, select Enable Streaming. Set the appropriate streaming properties.
NOTE: The default settings will enable multicast streaming. If this is not desired, change the IP
address for Group to the IP address of the server to which you want to stream from the encoder.
The Save sdp file field will require a name and destination path for the resulting SDP file created
®
when the stream is started. If you are streaming to a Helix
, a Quicktime, or a Darwin server, refer to
its respective documentation or online message boards for setup details specific for the individual
streaming server.
NOTE: You can stream point-to-point by selecting a share destination directory for the saved SDP
file. Remember to disable multicasting by entering in the IP address of the PC to which you want to
stream.
For example, if you want another PC to view the stream, save the SDP file to a share folder on the
local drive. The other PC can open the SDP file and the stream can be played in a Quicktime or other
MPEG-4 compatible streaming player. Since MPEG-4 encoding can be CPU intensive, it is not
recommend that view the stream on the same system as the Niagara SCX encoder unless you have a
very powerful system (dual-core processors or better). Doing so may overtax the host CPU which
will cause video quality degradation and encode session failure.
After you have input your settings, click the Submit button at the bottom of the Web interface page
to save your settings.
NOTE: If you click away to another Web page without first clicking Submit, your changes will be
lost.
