  • Page 49: Chapter 6 Video Streaming And Recording

    Chapter 6 Video Streaming and Recording The ShowCast-100 allows the user to stream and record your program at the same time. From any SDI/HDMI input sources, the built-in video streaming server generates an H.264/265 encoded stream that is compliant with various protocols such as RTSP or RTMP. While encoding the video at bit rates appropriate for live streaming, the video streaming server concurrently records a high-quality MP4 file to an SD card.

    7. Enter the login credentials (Username: admin/Password: 000000) to log in to the web UI. Connecting to a NON-DHCP Network (Static IP) Upon connection to a non-DHCP network, the NVS-31 MARK IV will not be assigned of any IP address. As such it is recommended that you manually assign a fixed IP address to the device or use the default IP address (192.168.1.200).

  • Page 54: Troubleshooting The Network Connection

     Wait for about five seconds then release the buttons as soon as you see the RECORD and STREAM button LEDs light up.  The IP address should be the default IP which is 192.168.1.200. Troubleshooting the Network Connection Connect the STREAM port to the network then use the IP Finder utility program to scan for NVS-31 MARK IV.

On the Source page, you will see Input Information, Video Source, Audio Source, Resolution, Frame Rate, Channels, Bits Per Sample and Sample Frequency.

  • Page 57: Stream Mode

    Stream Mode The NVS-31 MARK IV has two stream engines allowing you to stream to two different destinations over multiple protocols. The configurable stream settings are Encoder Source, Stream Type, Resolution, Frame Rate, Profile, Entropy, GOP, Encoder Mode, Video Bitrate (bps) and Audio Bitrate (bps) which will be described later in this section.
  • Page 58 Stream Type The NVS-31 MARK IV offers the user seven stream types which are RTSP, RTMP, TS, HLS, SRT, KUAISHOU and DV Cloud. Parameters of each individual protocol will be briefly described below. RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol)  RTSP Port: The RTSP port number ranges from 554 to 562 and is 554 by default. ...
  • Page 59 If your available bandwidth is limited, you should reduce both your resolution and your bitrate accordingly. A good rule of thumb is for the bitrate of your stream to use no more than 50% of your available upload bandwidth capacity on a dedicated line. For example, if the result you get from a speed test shows that you have 2Mbps of upload speed available, your combined audio and video bitrate should not exceed 1Mbps.
  • Page 60  Main  Baseline Entropy There are two coding options available for generating H.264 content:  CAVLC (Context-Adaptive Variable Length Coding)  CABAC (Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding) CABAC encoding provides a 7-10% quality improvement over CAVLC but requires an extra 10-15% CPU.

  • Page 61: Record Mode

    Video Bitrate (bps) The bitrate of the video specifies the amount of information stored in the video. The higher the bitrate is, the clearer the video is. However, when choosing your encoder settings for streaming, you should first check your available upload bandwidth. A good rule of thumb is for the bitrate of your stream to use no more than 50% of your available upload bandwidth capacity on a DEDICATED line.
  • Page 62 Note that after you’ve configured the record settings, click “Apply” to apply the new record settings. Click “Start Record” to start recording and “Stop Record” to end recording. To reset, simply click the default button. File Name Enter the name of your record file. Resolution Recording resolution is the number of pixels (dots) used to create an image.
