Pearl Mini User Guide
Set up an SRT stream using rendezvous mode
What's needed for this setup
l
The public IP address of Source A (e.g. 198.51.100.20) and the public IP address of Destination B
(e.g. 168.0.113.10).
l
The SRT streaming port that Source A is configured to use (e.g. port 20000).
l
Configure SRT Destination B to use the same port value as Source A for the SRT stream (e.g. 20000).
If the destination device is another Pearl Mini, you do this when adding the SRT stream as a video
input source using the Admin panel, see
Connect an SRT stream as an input
.
When you're configuring an SRT stream on Pearl Mini, you can also adjust the recovery bandwidth
overhead using the Admin panel. This setting defines how much of the stream's total bandwidth is
dedicated for the exchange of SRT control and recovery packets between the source and destination.
Ensure that the total SRT stream bitrate (i.e. the bandwidth required for the stream plus the recovery
bandwidth overhead) is less than the network bandwidth you have available.
Set up Pearl Mini as a streaming source in rendezvous mode using the Admin
panel
1. Log in to the Admin panel as
admin
, see
2. From the
Channel(s)
menu, select the channel and click
Streaming

5. In the
Connection mode
field, select
Rendezvous
.
6. Enter the
URL
of the SRT destination (decoder) using the format
srt://<decoder-ip-address>:<port>
,
where the
<decoder-ip-address>
and
<port>
values are provided by the CDN, media server, or an
SRT decoder device such as a second Pearl Mini at the destination.
7. (Optional) Check Encryption and choose the AES key length if the SRT destination requires AES
encryption. These settings must match the encryption settings of the destination device, see
AES encryption and a passphrase for SRT
.
8. (Optional) If the SRT destination has a required security
Passphrase
along with the AES encryption,
you can enter that here.
9. (Optional) In the
Latency
field adjust the amount of latency to apply to the stream. The default
value is 125 ms.
