4.2 Display images from streamcorders
Streamproducer can record and cast (stream) live images from streamcorders. First you must connect
Streamproducer (your PC) with from one to four streamcorders. Up to four streamcorders can be connected at
a time; each streamcorder's image is shown on its own video display window in the Streamproducer desktop.
4.2.1 Connecting to
streamcorders..
Click [Connect] button on any one of the video display windows that show "No Setting" in the title bar.
'No Setting indicates that no streamcorder is connected or no file is opened in that window.
The Streamcorder setting dialog box appears.
Enter the streamcorder's IP address and click [OK]. (Note: The menu button only appears in windows
that already are connected to a streamcorder or are displaying a file)
In most cases, the default port number will be satisfactory. If you cannot connect to the streamcorder
with the default settings you may need to change one or more port settings.
You will not need to change the port numbers if you connect the streamcorder directly to
Streamproducer and both are in their factory default condition.
It may be necessary to specify the port number if
there are network devices like routers between the
streamcorder and Streamproducer. Ask your network
administrator for more detail. In addition, some
firewalls may require port setting changes.
If you need to change the port numbers, click on the
[Detail>>] button of the streamcorder setting dialog
and from the window shown here, specify the port
number
for
the
streamcorder
Streamproducer.
For the details on the setting, please read the

User's Guide.
