Multicast streaming
You can add multiple multicast streams to a channel in Pearl Mini. A multicast stream consists of one stream
distributed to many viewers via a multicast-capable network. You can stream to several multicast networks and
at the same time, stream to non-multicast CDNs.
Pearl Mini supports multicast streaming to an IP TV or a set-top box playlist using SAP when the stream format is
MPEG-TS.
Topics include:
l MPEG-TS streams using RTP/UDP push
l MPEG-TS streams using UDP push
l Multicast streaming using RTP/UDP
l Set up traffic shaping
l Viewing with Session Announcement Protocol (SAP)
MPEG-TS streams using RTP/UDP push
When you configure an MPEG-TS stream using RTP/UDP push, you have the option to enable SAP and
multicast over a local network at the same time.
Before configuring your channel for MPEG-TS streaming, ensure the following codecs are configured:
l Video – H.264
l Audio – MP3 or AAC, if audio is configured.
