RTP/RTSP
T-RAX decoder cards are configured to stream via RTSP by default. RTSP is used for local streaming
to computers and Teradek decoders. When you enable RTP/RTSP mode, the protocol is automatically
set to TCP. Enter the host (Encoder) IP address, port and stream name, then select Apply.
MPEG Transport Stream
The MPEG transport stream protocol is used in many broadcast applications and is also supported by
many IPTV set top boxes. Make sure the encoder card is configured to stream to the external T-RAX
IP and port that corresponds to the decoder card. Select MPEG Transport Stream from the Decoder
Mode drop-down menu, choose your streaming protocol, enter the host (Encoder) IP address and
port, then select Apply.
PORT MAPPING
The T-RAX controller routes and manages all inbound and outbound traffic in the system. Therefore,
stream and configuration data is routed from the following default external ports to each card’s
internal network interface. For example, to stream UDP transport stream to decoder card 4, the
encoder must be configured to send to T-RAX’s IP address, port 9714.
Open Cards>Port Mapping to
configure the encoder or decoder cards’ external ports.
CLOUD SERVICES (CORE)
T-RAX encoder and decoder cards can be remotely accessed, configured, and controlled using
Teradek’s CORE Cloud management and routing service. CORE allows you to route live streams
to multiple destinations and archive them to the Cloud. To connect a card to your CORE account,
navigate to Cards > Configuration, then tap Edit. After the card configuration loads, tap the Cloud
tab, select CORE under the Cloud Service drop-down menu, then enter your credentials.
