File Location
As Talon has no hard drive, in order to save a file it is necessary to mount a USB device on the external
USB port. By default, any device mounted on this port will be designated “/media/usb/[filename].ts”.
Talon will not create sub folders to this location. If you have previously created a sub folder then you
may include that location after “/usb/” and before [filename].
Video Settings
These are the video settings required by the network to deliver a stream to a particular location. If this is
the only stream you may use the defaults. Otherwise insert the values given by your network
administrator. Settings include Video PID, PCR PID and PMT PID.
TS Rate
In order to support the overhead of a Transport Stream the TS rate must be set greater than the Video
Bit Rate. As a rule, 125% of the Video Bit Rate is a good starting point.
RTP
RTP is a delivery protocol similar to UDP. It is simple to configure as it only requires a Destination
Address and a Destination Port.
Destination Address
This address can be either Multicast or Unicast address depending upon your requirements. You need
only enter the destination IP address here.
Destination Port
Enter the destination port for your video stream. Default is 5004, but nearly all ports from 4000 to
40000 are available.
NOTE: Be certain to check the port on your Audio Configuration and set that port accordingly as well.
About SDP files
Most RTP/RTSP connections require an SDP file. Talon does not support automatic SDP injection. If you
are unfamiliar with the format for SDP files contact check OspreyVideo.com for the Knowledge Base
article about SDP files.
Save to File
If you are using other channels for streaming with something other than UDP and you need to save the
video as a file you may create a separate stream simply for saving to file. The file will be saved as .TS
USB storage devices
Talon does not have onboard storage. In order to save a file you must insert a Flash drive or USB hard
drive in the USB port. For convenience all storage is mounted as /media/usb/[filename].ts
NOTE: Talon does not determine if a device is plugged into the USB port. Be certain that you have a
storage device plugged into the USB before writing the file.
NOTE: Do not attempt more than one Save to File operation at a time.
NOTE: Do not use a USB hub with Talon.
