and may adversely affect network conditions. Please refer to your network device documentation
when using multicast.
5. Transport stream
5.1.
5.2. In transport stream mode, Cube sends video to a specified unicast or multicast address. The
MPEG transport stream protocol is used in many broadcast applications and is also supported
by many IPTV set top boxes. The transport stream license can be purchased online at
.
5.3. Configuration:
To enable transport stream, select „Transport Stream‟ for the stream type on the
Stream Settings page. Choose your streaming protocol (see below). Enter your destination IP
address and port. Select your audio codec (AAC or MPEG2).
Click „Apply.‟
5.4. Protocol options: TCP is recommended when streaming over the internet or a WAN. For
streaming over a local network, UDP can be used to avoid the additional network overhead of
TCP. On a
local network, use „UDP (Unicast)‟ if streaming to a single decoder, or „UDP
(Multicast)‟ when streaming to multiple decoders over a multicast-capable network.
5.5. Using transport stream: If your transport stream is being sent to a computer, a program such as
VLC can open the stream by opening the URL listed on the Stream Settings page. For example,
if streaming to a computer with IP address 192.168.1.100 over port 9710, enter
udp://@192.168.1.100:9710
in VLC‟s „Open Network‟ dialogue. For multicast streams, simply
replace the unicast IP address with the multicast IP address. Please refer to following section for
instructions on configuring your decoder to work with transport stream.
