  • Page 41: Chapter 5 Video Streaming

    The HS-1300 Portable Video Studio includes a built-in Video Streaming Server (NVS-31) allowing the user to stream and record your program at the same time. From any HDMI input source, the Datavideo NVS-31 generates an H.264 encoded stream compliant with RTSP or RTMP protocols. While encoding the video at bit rates appropriate for live streaming, the Datavideo NVS-31 concurrently records a high-quality MP4 file to an SD card.
  • Page 42: Web User Interface

    There are basically two ways to establish connection between the NVS-31 and your computer:  Connect an Ethernet cable from the NVS-31’s LAN port directly to your computer’s Ethernet port.  Connect an Ethernet cable from the NVS-31’s LAN port to the same network switch as your computer.
