Stream Profiles Page

To access this page, click the Stream Profiles link from within the Navigation frame. This page
(FIG. 16) allows a user (with sufficient access rights) to both configure the properties of the
outgoing media stream and setup the properties associated with communicating that stream to an
external IP-enabled device capable of receiving and processing the data.

IP Multicasting is supported under both the UPD and RTP communication protocols.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol, such as TCP, that runs on
top of IP networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides a direct way to send and receive
datagrams over an IP network. It's primarily used for broadcasting messages over a
network. Data is sent as a Transport Stream by using only the MPEG-2 codec.
In a UDP stream, only a Target (video) Port is needed since both the audio and video
information are transported together to the same port on the destination device.
RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) is an Internet protocol used for transmitting
real-time data such as audio and video as separate entities. Data is sent as an Elementary
Stream which can use both the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 codecs.
In an RTP stream, both a Target (video) Port and Target Audio Port are required
because the audio and video are delivered to a destination as separate data elements.
These elements are then directed to two separate ports where they are then
"synced-up" by target device/application.
