The next step in setting up a point-to-point connection for a video stream decoder is selecting
the desired
Connection Type
. When in
Active
mode, the video stream decoder will establish a
connection directly to a video stream source (HTTP or RTSP), such as an IP camera or IP video
encoder, and request the required video streams. When in passive mode, the ION-R100 does
not establish any connection; it simply opens up a listening network port and waits for an
incoming stream (RTP).
The active mode supports the following video sources (IP camera or encoder):
•
MJPEG over HTTP
•
H.264 over RTSP/RTP/UDP Unicast
•
H.264 over RTSP/RTP/UDP Multicast
The passive mode supports the following video sources (IP camera or encoder):
•
H.264 over RTP/UDP Unicast
•
H.264 over RTP/UDP Multicast
The settings available for a point-to-point connection are:
•
Connection Type
: Indicates which type of point-to-point connection the decoder will be
use. Available choices are
Active
or
Passive
.
•
Enabled
: Indicates whether this connection is enabled or not.
•
Description
: Free-form user description of the connection, not used by the device.
•
In Passive Mode:
o
Use Multicast
: Determines if the incoming video stream is of multicast IP type.
o
Source Port
: Network port to listen on for incoming video. This value must
match the video stream destination port value of the IP video source. For
example, if an IP camera is configured to stream its video to port 555 of the ION-
R100, the
Source Port
should be set to 555.
•
In Active Mode:
o
Active Connection Status
: Current status of the active point-to-point
connection. Read-only value for diagnostics purposes.
