Page 11: Rtp
RTP / RTSP RTP is a streaming protocol used for video and audio. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_Transport_Protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Streaming_Protocol The camera can be configured to supply the images using RTP. -

MJEG Streaming This document gives an introduction into the use of the LCAM 408i with MJPEG streaming. To watch the streamed image with the VideoLANClient VLC on a 64-Bit Windows system use the line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" tcp://IPaddress:5001 --network-caching=0 Fill in the IP address of the camera and adjust the path to vlc.exe as needed. -
Page 13: Stream Data Structure
Stream data structure To access the video data in your own software, open a socket to port 5001 of the camera and scan the incoming data for the separator string ---jworudfg83h23lsow2z04. The following line contains the content type and the next the length of the image data. The typical structure of the stream data is: ---jworudfg83h23lsow2z04 Content-Type: image/jpeg... -
Page 14: Rtp Streaming
RTP Streaming If RTP streaming is enabled, the camera stream jpeg images using RTP port 554. Again VideoLANClient VLC can be used to display the images: vlc rtsp://IPaddress/jpeg Ring buffer All jpeg images grabbed on the camera are buffered in a ring buffer. Currently the ring buffer can hold 25 images. -

6.3.2.2 Saving setting Figure 13 Apply settings or set default values The buttons shown above allow to save the changes made or to set some default values stored on the camera. When Apply is clicked, the current settings are stored, but current sensor settings are not changed. To achieve this, the web page must be reloaded. -
Page 21: Automatic Roi Correction
All ROIs can be shown using the button "Show all region of interest". Only the active one can be changed. Figure 16 Show all ROI 6.3.2.4 Automatic ROI correction The ROI for gain control and white balance must lie within the acquisition ROI. This is handled automatically. -
Page 22: Rtp
The frame rate depends on the amount of data that is transferred. If the effective image size is small, a high frame rate can be achieved. The maximum frame rate is calculated, whenever the image size or the binning mode changes. The frame rate slider limits are adjusted. If needed, the framerate is also reduced, when the image size changes. -
Page 23: Color Saturation
6.3.2.8 Color saturation The color saturation is a value between 0 and 200. Choosing "0" results in a grey level image, 200 results in very colorful images. Figure 23 Color saturation 6.3.2.9 White balance White balance can be done once or continuously. When "White balance (once)" is clicked, the white balance is calculated and the result is saved for the next reboot. - Page 24 Figure 26 Trigger ringbuffer When no ringbuffer images are stored in the file system, the ringbuffer page comes up with a cross to show, that there are no images stored yet. The button "Trigger ringbuffer" can be used to trigger the ringbuffer. Figure 27 Ringbuffer re-arm, download and display When the images are fetched from the ringbuffer and stored in the filesystem, the web page changes.
