Streaming RTP

Once you have UDP streaming, it is relatively simple to change to RTP streaming. A few parameter
changes are all that is needed. To stream using RTP, complete the following steps:

In the CH1 configuration tab, click on “stop” to stop the current encoding session.

Change “Output Format” from “UDP” to “RTP.”

Click on “start” to start the RTP encoding session. At this point your settings should look like the

following:

(1) Change to “RTP”
