TCP Streaming
If in your network occurs packet loss, jitter etc., we recommend using the connection-oriented protocol
TCP. TCP provides a point-to-point connection (unicast) for applications that require reliable
communications. If the TCP connection is established, then the data will be streamed in the same order
as it was sent from the encoder. Furthermore, lost packets can be retransmitted via TCP.
The ENC-
300™ and ENC-200™ support TCP streaming in connection with the DEC-300™ and DEC-
200™.
To use TCP streaming on the ENC-
300™ in connection with the DEC-300™, please be sure that your
encoder has the firmware version 2.06_w40 or higher and your decoder has the firmware version
1.09_w06 or higher, because these firmware versions are necessary for TCP streaming.
To use TCP streaming on the ENC-
300™ in connection with the DEC-200™, please be sure that your
encoder has the firmware version 2.06_w40 or higher and your decoder has the firmware version 1.39
or higher, because these firmware versions are necessary for TCP streaming.
TCP streaming is based on the client/server architecture. For TCP streaming with the ENC-
300™ to
DEC-
200™/DEC-300™ it exists to possibilities:
For TCP streaming you can configure the ENC-
300™ as a server and the DEC-200™/DEC-
300™ as a client.
For TCP streaming you can configure the ENC-
300™ as a client and the DEC-200™/DEC-
300™ as a server.
The ENC-
300™ and DEC-200™/DEC-300™ configuration changes depending on which client/server
possibility do you choose. So, the following subchapters describe the ENC-
300™ and DEC-200™/DEC-
300™ configuration for the two possibilities to make a TCP connection.
