8.3.3.8 Real Time Protocol (RTP)
Figure 8.12 RTP Setup dialog box.
RTP stands for Real Time Protocol. It is a streaming protocol where data
is broken up into a number of smaller packages, appropriately sized with
regard to the current bandwidth between the server (in this case the RTP
server inside the infrared camera) and the client (a computer in a net-
work). Due to the fact that data is sent as packages, the client software
will be able to play the data of one packet at the same time as receiving
the data of the second packet. This means that the client software does
not need to download an entire le before playing the data.
