NODESTER
RTSP Inputs
RTSP (real time streaming protocol) streams, typically associated with network IP cameras, can
be added as inputs to Nodestream encoders if the network is correctly configured (see device
user manual). There is no limit to how many IP cameras can be added however generally there is a
limitation of 254 for a given IP network.
RTSP URL's are unique to camera manufacturers and can differ between models. The URL must
be known prior to entering the input. It is recommended to confirm the URL address is correct by
using a simple network stream viewer such as VLC.
