Parameter
Default
Description/Values
type
tx
The stream type, either transport stream or
recorder.
NOTE:
type
only needs to be specified when
creating a stream that will be used solely for
recording and not sent on any network. For
that specific use, use
type=recorder
and
simply specify the content sources.
addr
n/a
The destination IP address. Enter an IP
address in dotted-decimal format.
For multicast addresses, see
port
n/a
The destination UDP port. Enter a number in
the range
1025..65,535
. Note that RTP
streams use
even numbers only
within this
range.
Optional stream Parameters
id
n/a
A unique number assigned to the stream.
NOTE:
When creating a stream, you can
specify a unique id to assign to it or let the
system assign one (a sequential number) for
you.
Most commands will accept the stream id or
name (see below) in order select the proper
stream to manage.
name
n/a
(Optional) When creating a stream, you can
also specify a name for the stream.
1
to
32
characters
rtcp
on
(Optional) When
rtcp
is On, the stream is
activated in RTCP mode. This causes the
system to establish one RTP stream and one
RTCP session for monitoring purposes.
RTP/RTCP is useful to collect network
metrics such as network jitter, packet loss,
etc. Note that this requires a remote decoder
capable of supporting this feature as well.
