Pearl Mini User Guide Streaming a channel direct to viewers
Streaming a channel direct to viewers
Stream content directly to viewers on the local network using the default streaming settings as soon as you've
powered on the system and configured a channel. Just choose the live broadcast method that's right for your
viewers. They can tune into the stream and watch using their favorite web browser or media player.
Table 48 Publishing options for streaming direct to viewers on the local network
Publishing Options Use this option to...
HTTP or HTTPS
Viewers on the same local network as Pearl Mini can access the Live broadcast URL
using a web browser on the local network and are instantly connected.
Viewers can also choose to use their favorite media player to watch the stream on the
local network. They just need the URL for any of the other supported streaming
methods (like FLV or MPEG-TS) to watch using their media player.
Use these direct streaming methods for only a small number of viewers because
each viewer uses the full stream bandwidth and consumes resources on Pearl Mini.
For more information about using an HTTP stream, see
Share a live broadcast
stream (HTTP, HTTPS, or RTSP) .
RTSP
Viewers can copy and paste the URL of the RTSP stream into a media player and
watch the stream on the local network. For more information about using RTSP
streaming, see
Share a live broadcast stream (HTTP, HTTPS, or RTSP) .
HTTP Live Streaming
(HLS) pull
Stream live over the standard HTTP port 80, making it possible to cross firewalls and
proxies that are normally accessible to other HTTP traffic and facilitates content
delivery to CDNs. If HTTPS is configured on Pearl Mini, traffic from port 80 is
redirected to port 443. See
Enable HLS (pull) for details.
There is approximately a 30 second delay when streaming using HLS.
To stream video outside your LAN using the channel's HTTP/HTTPS or RTSP URLs, you must
configure port forwarding on your router. Consult with your Network Administrator.
To set up Pearl Mini for direct streaming to viewers, see:
l Disable and enable direct channel streaming
