CrossLock’s primary function is to provide stability over poor networks. To this end, it will have control
over video data rate, frame rate and other functions that will affect media quality. There may be
circumstances where CrossLock is not desired. This may be when running over known good managed IP
connections. In this case, connections can be made directly without engaging CrossLock at all. See
the section on non-CrossLock connections to configure LiveShot for this mode.
In addition to port
UDP 9001
for incoming, LiveShot must not have certain ports blocked for outbound
traffic in order to use the Switchboard server function to locate mating units automatically. This usually
isn’t a problem unless the network is heavily firewalled. The outbound traffic for these functions are
sent to ports
UDP 3478
and
TCP 8090
.
