    In general, streaming using RTP/RTSP will result in lower latency than streaming using TS. When streaming UDP or TSRTP, the FV2K-DCK-1X supports a low latency mode called TS Lowlat Mode. When enabled, TS Lowlat Mode sends the transport stream packets as soon as possible, instead of pacing them out evenly.

    If you do not have camera control software it is quite straight-forward to write your own. Below is a simple example application on how to send VISCA commands from a Windows PC to the FV2K-DCK-1X. The following example code connects to the TCP socket of the unit and is capable of sending several VISCA commands to the unit.
