Basic Operation
4.
Select either
UDP
or
RTP
or
RTMP
for the stream type from the
Transport
drop-down list.
(Note that HLS configuration is covered in the next section.)
5.
Enter the destination IP address in the
Stream IP
field. If you enter a valid IP multicast
address (range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255), any endpoint registered with that multicast
receives the stream. If you enter a valid IP unicast address, only that specific address
receives the IP stream.
Important note:
The 224.0.0.x range is used for protocol discovery
and are flooded to every port. Because they are reserved and may not be constrained by
IGMP snooping, we recommend against using them. If unicast, only the specifically ad
-
dressed endpoint will receive the stream.
6.
Enter the port number in the
Stream Port
field. The supported port range is
1025
to
65534
.
The destination IP port must not conflict with other IP protocols. If necessary,
contact the System Administrator for assistance.
