Set up an SRT stream using rendezvous mode
What's needed for this setup
l
The public IP address of Source A (e.g. 198.51.100.20) and the public IP address of Destination B (e.g.
168.0.113.10).
l
The SRT streaming port that Source A is configured to use (e.g. port 20000).
l
Configure SRT Destination B to use the same port value as Source A for the SRT stream (e.g. 20000). If
the destination device is another Pearl Mini, you do this when adding the SRT stream as a video input
source using the Admin panel, see
Connect an SRT stream as an input
.
When you're configuring an SRT stream on Pearl Mini, you can also adjust the recovery bandwidth overhead
using the Admin panel. This setting defines how much of the stream's total bandwidth is dedicated for the
exchange of SRT control and recovery packets between the source and destination. Ensure that the total SRT
stream bitrate (i.e. the bandwidth required for the stream plus the recovery bandwidth overhead) is less than the
network bandwidth you have available.
Set up Pearl Mini as a streaming source in rendezvous mode using the Admin panel
1. Log in to the Admin panel as admin, see
Connect to the Admin panel
.
2. From the Channel(s) menu, select the channel and click Streaming. The Streaming configuration page
opens.
3. Click New stream and choose SRT push. The new stream with the default name
Stream 1 is created.
4. Click the stream name to expand the stream settings.
5. In the Connection mode field, select Rendezvous.
6. Enter the URL of the SRT destination (decoder) using the format
srt://<decoder-ip-address>:<port>,
where the
<decoder-ip-address> and <port> values are provided by the CDN, media server, or an SRT
decoder device such as a second Pearl Mini at the destination.
7. (Optional) Check Encryption and choose the AES key length if the SRT destination requires AES
encryption. These settings must match the encryption settings of the destination device, see
Set AES
encryption and a passphrase for SRT
.
8. (Optional) If the SRT destination has a required security Passphrase along with the AES encryption, you
can enter that here.
9. (Optional) In the Latency field adjust the amount of latency to apply to the stream. The default value is 125
ms.
We recommend using the default latency and recovery bandwidth overhead values for an
initial test stream. After you perform a test stream, you can determine the Quality of Service
(QoS) and calculate the latency requirements. To set the SRT stream latency, see
Adjust
latency and view the SRT stream status
.
10. (Optional) In the Recovery bandwidth overhead field, adjust the % value of the bandwidth that's dedicate
for SRT control and recovery packets. The default value is 25%.
11. (Optional) Rename the stream. Click the current name and enter a different name, then press Enter.
