Streaming Management
In this menu the Codec can be configured to use streaming. This technology allows viewing of and listening to live or recorded
events by a large number of users connected to the IP network without the need for a large file to be downloaded. It is based
on the continuous transmission of data compressed by particular programs (codecs) from a server, then decoded at the client
side by an appropriate player that works even during data buffering, thereby avoiding long delays.
The Codec is able to transmit to networks in either unicast or multicast. If the streaming is unicast, only one client at a time is

The Codec is able to transmit to networks in either unicast or multicast. If the streaming is unicast, only one client at a time is
allowed to connect to the stream. If it is multicast, there is no theoretical limit to the number of connected clients.
In case of pre-recorded event streaming, replay a recording of the event using a VCR or DVD player connected to the Codec
video input available for this purpose, select this input and begin the streaming.
Note that the codec does not act as a distribution server, rather as a simple codec. It does not provide connections using RTSP
(Real Time Streaming Protocol), nor can it provide unicast streaming to multiple clients, or offer other services typical of

Streaming is supported by RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol). Video packets are encoded in H.261, while audio packets are
encoded in G.711.
Menu options are "Streaming Management," "Enable Streaming," and Activation.
