Servers

The H.264 appliance is also a streaming server and can be controlled by a remote decoder
client via RTSP and RTCP protocols. In server mode, a served program does not become active on
the network until requested by a client. The client may be a software player like StreamPlayer or
QuickTime on a PC or a Macintosh. The user requests a stream from the encoder by
directing the decoder client to issue an RTSP request to the URL of the VBrick H.264
encoder. The client and the VBrick then go through a sequence of RTSP messages to direct
the H.264 encoder to send the program to that client. A server can be configured to include
unicast video or audio or video and audio and you can configure up to three servers per
program. The server also accepts RTSP interleaved and HTTP tunneled requests from a
client.
