SMP300 Series • Reference Information 151
NOTES:
• <SMP35x_IP> is the IP address of the SMP300 Series.
• For push URLs, the Destination Port is the lowest port in the Port Range set from
the web page.
• UDP://@:DESTINATION_PORT default is UDP://@:12340.
• Some dependencies may apply with certain versions of VLC.
• For ES/RTP, SAP is available in Video only stream mode.
Streaming Capabilities and System Scalability
The following tables detail the streaming capabilities of the SMP300 Series. Data for the
tables was obtained through laboratory testing using optimal bandwidth conditions and can
vary depending on the selected video bit rate.
NOTE: Testing to determine the approximate maximum number of pull streams was
done on the Archive encoder with one pull unicast confidence stream. Recording while
streaming does not reduce the maximum number of pull streams.
Available Unicast Streams
Video resolution and bit rate affect the total number of unicast streams (Archive and
Confidence) the SMP300 Series can broadcast. The following table compares the selected
resolution and bit rate with the approximate number of unicast streams that are available.
Changing the resolution or using higher or lower bit rates may increase or decrease the
available number of streams.

1024 x 768 @ 15 2500 32
1280 x 1024 @ 30 3500 29
1280 x 720 @ 30 5000 23
1920 x 1080 @ 30 8000 16
NOTE: The following configuration options were set on the SMP:
• Stream Type = VBR
• GOP Length = 30
• Stream Mode = Video/Audio
• Layout = Full screen with high motion content
• Archive Pull Streaming Method = Unicast RTP
• Confidence Pull Streaming Method = Unicast RTP at default setting
Push Stream Method
The number of push unicast streams is one per encoder (the SMP300 Series has two
encoders, Archive and Confidence in composite mode and 3 encoders, Archive Channel A,
Archive Channel B and confidence in dual channel mode).
