Stream content using HTTP or RTSP

The quickest and simplest way to deliver your content is to send the broadcast's URL to your viewers. You can

provide separate URLs for each channel being streamed.

The format of the URL provided to you by the admin interface depends on the method you used to access the

system, either through network discovery using the serial number or IP address.

The system must be accessible on the viewer's LAN for the viewer to use access by serial discovery.

If your system is behind a firewall and you wish to share with remote viewers, you will need to set

up port forwarding on your network. See your IT administrator.
