and other devices .
Multicast Streaming
This delivery method relies on network equipment that supports multicasting and is
usually used on high bandwidth corporate LANs and not on Internet-based
architectures.
Multicasting is what's typically used to stream video and audio to an IP TV or set-top
box playlist. If you're streaming over a Gigabit Ethernet network to a 10/100 Mbps
set-top box that is dropping frames, you can limit the stream's bandwidth, see
Set up
traffic shaping .
Multicast streaming protocols supported include: MPEG-TS UDP, MPEG-TS
RTP/UDP, and RTP/UDP.
For more information about using multicasting for streaming your content, see
Multicast streaming
To stream video outside of your LAN, use a CDN or configure port forwarding on your router. Consult
your Network Administrator to set up port forwarding.
By default, no streaming is configured for the channels configured on Pearl Mini.
Publishing to a CDN
When you publish a stream to a CDN provider, make sure you use a streaming protocol that the CDN supports.
Contact your CDN for a list of supported streaming protocols and audio codecs they support.
To publish content to a CDN provider, ensure you have:
l the URL (or path) to the mount point or an XML configuration file (provided by the CDN provider)
l the supported transport protocols, audio codecs, and any other settings like key frame rates and bit rates
recommended by the CDN provider
l See Suggested stream settings for the best streaming settings for Pearl Mini.
You can control streaming to a CDN using the Admin panel. You can also use:

channel on Pearl Mini as your switched program channel, then use the Admin panel to create multiple streaming
destinations for that channel. You can add multiple RTMP streams to different CDNs, configure multicast
