Description 

Streaming Interface 

Current streaming interface: WiFi or Ethernet LAN. This can be configured via Beam’s 

Front panel. 

Streaming Mode 

Select P2P mode when streaming over WiFi, or when connecting point-to-point over a 

LAN. Select Multicast when connecting to a multicast encoder. 

Peer IP (LAN) 

In P2P mode, set the Peer IP to the encoder’s IP address. 

Group IP (Multicast) 

In Multicast mode, set the Group IP to match the address configured at the Beam TX. 

TS Decoding 

Select On to enable video output from the decoder when streaming MPEG-TS. Select 

Off when just using the decoder to relay Transport Stream. 

Audio Intercomm 

Select 

On 

to allow for two-way stereo talkback communication. 

Relay Server 

Enable this to allow the Beam decoder to re-stream the video it receives from an 

encoder. The encoder determines whether the relay server uses RTSP or MPEG-TS. The 

decoder can output video and relay the stream simultaneously. 

RTSP Streaming Mode  Select whether to use Unicast (P2P) or Multicast for the decoder’s Relay server. When 

multicast is enabled, the RTSP stream is still available at
