Configuring the Camera
Basler IP Camera 39
3.7.2 RTSP Streaming Tab
Enabled - Check the Enabled box to enable the Real Time Streaming
Protocol (RTSP). RTSP is a control protocol that allows the camera
to negotiate which transport protocol to use for the video streams.
Typically, RTSP streaming should be enabled.
RTSP Port - Sets the port that will be used by RTSP. The default port
is 554.
Multicast - Check the Multicast box to enable multicast streaming.
Multicasting is a bandwidth conserving technology. It reduces
bandwidth by allowing the camera to deliver a single video stream to
multiple recipients on the network. Note that multicasting will only
work for streams where the Encoder Type parameter (see
Section 3.4.2 on page 24) is set to MPEG4 or to H264.
Multicast On-Demand - Check the Multicast On-Demand box to make the multicast stream an
"on-demand" stream. When multicast streaming on-demand is enabled, the camera will only deliver
a multicast video stream when one or more devices are requesting the multicast stream. This is an
additional bandwidth reducing mechanism.
Multicast IP - If multicast streaming is enabled, sets the IP address for multicast streaming.
Multicast Port - If multicast streaming is enabled, sets the port for multicast streaming.
Multicast TTL - If multicast streaming is enabled, sets the multicast Time-To-Live (TTL). The
multicast Time-To-Live (TTL) value specifies the number of routers (hops) that multicast traffic is
permitted to pass through before expiring on the network.
Click the Commit button save any changes you have made to the RTSP settings.
Click the Revert button to cancel any changes you have made to the RTSP settings. The
settings will revert to what they were the last time that the Commit button was clicked.
3.7.3 Network I/OTab
Network Traffic Out - Indicates the current amount of outgoing
network traffic in kilobytes per second.
Network Traffic In - Indicates the current amount of incoming
network traffic in kilobytes per second.
