6.5.2 RTSP Streaming Through VLC
The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol designed
for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media
servers. The protocol establishes and controls media sessions between end points.
Clients of media servers issue commands like play and pause, to facilitate real-time
control of playback of media files from the server.
VIA Campus supports RTSP. A media being played locally on a computer can be
streamed on a VIA Campus unit, provided the computer and the VIA Campus unit
are on connected networks.
For RTSP Streaming using VLC:
1. Open VLC.
2. Click Media > Stream
3. Click Add and select a file to stream and click Stream.
