Teradek StreamReader Plugin v 1.2 - Manual (Page 2)

and out of range. Note that it is not advised to use multicast over WiFi since many WiFi routers
(especially consumer grade ones) do not handle multicasting well.

Transport Stream over TCP . In this mode plugin act as a server listening for TCP traffic on the
specified port. This mode is typically used when streaming over Internet.

Transport Stream over TCP Pull . In this mode plugin connects to specified server host and port
and pulls transport stream data over established TCP connection. This is typically used with
Teradek Sputnik when streaming over LAN or Internet.

RTSP over UDP . In this mode plugin connects to specified host and port of RTSP server running
on Cube or other Teradek product. RTSP stream name has to be specified. After initial
connection and handshake over TCP, all the video/audio data will be sent over UDP. Typically
used over LAN only.

RTSP over UDP Multicast . In this mode plugin connects to specified host and port (non-
multicast) of RTSP server running on Cube or other Teradek product. RTSP stream name has to
be specified. After initial connection and handshake over TCP, all the video/audio data will be
sent over UDP multicast. Typically used over LAN only.

RTSP over TCP . In this mode plugin connects to specified host and port of RTSP server running
on Cube or other Teradek product. RTSP stream name has to be specified. Initial connection and
handshake, as well as all video/audio data will be sent over the same TCP connection. Can be
used over LAN or Internet.
Host, Port, Stream Name
Used to specify the source of the stream. Unused settings for selected protocol are grayed out.
“Synchronize with Other Sources” checkbox
Marking this checkbox for multiple cameras ensures that the same delay is used for all of them. The
delay is automatically determined based on network conditions. Current calculated delay is constantly
updated in “Current configuration” box.
“Auto Jitter Buffer Delay” checkbox
If the checkbox is marked, the delay will be automatically adjusted to be just enough to compensate
for network jitter for the current connection.
Jitter Buffer Delay
Specifies the amount of audio/video to be buffered in the plugin before starting to play. It is
recommended to use jitter buffer in all cases except when smallest possible delay is required. Thus, if
video seems jittery or audio breaks, you might need to increase the delay value. Typically 100-200 ms is
enough if streaming over Ethernet LAN. At the lowest settings (below 50 ms) audio might be slightly out
of sync with the video and might be occasionally breaking. To eliminate audio interruptions while still
maintaining low video delay, enter 50-100 ms delay in lip-sync correction box.
Lip-Sync Correction
Allows to advance or delay the audio in respect to the video. Positive values delay the audio. Under
normal conditions should be set to 0 ms. Can be set to 50-100 ms to eliminate audio interruptions when
jitter buffer delay is set to 0.
