dropdown list provided (Figure 70). This opens a
dialog suited to the particular source device you
wish to add, such as one of the numerous supported
PTZ camera brands and models.
Additional protocols have been added to provide
more options for video sources. RTMP (Real Time
Message Protocol), a standard for delivering
streams to your online video platform. RTSP (Real
Time Streaming Protocol), used for establishing and
controlling media sessions between end points. SRT
Source (Secure Reliable Transport) is an open
source protocol that is managed by the SRT
Alliance. SRT can be used to send media over
unpredictable networks, like the internet.
