1.2. RTP is Cube‟s default streaming mode. Use this for local streaming to computers and Cube
decoders. The URL for a standard RTP stream is rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/stream1 , where the x‟s
are your Cube‟s IP address or link-local hostname.
1.3. RTP Port and Max clients – Use these fields to configure the port Cube accepts RTP requests
on and how many simultaneous clients are allowed. The default port is 554 and the default
maximum number of clients is 10.
1.4. Authentication – Enable this to protect your stream by requiring a username and password for
access. When enabled, some video players (VLC) will prompt for the username and password if
the default stream name is used (see above). Alternately, the username and password can be
added to the stream URL as follows – rtsp://username:[email protected]/stream1.
1.5. HTTP Tunneling – Some networks may require packaging video as HTTP traffic for
transmission. If so, enable „Tunnel RTSP & RTP over HTTP‟. You may need to configure your
video player to work with HTTP Tunneling (in VLC, the option is available under Input/Codecs-
>Demuxers->RTP/RTSP in the preferences).
2. Secondary Quickview Stream
2.1.
2.2. When enabled, the Quickview stream can be used for low latency streaming to iOS devices. As
the Quickview stream requires less bandwidth (1 Mbps) than a typical HD stream, it can also be
used to enable streaming to a greater number of devices.
2.3. When enabled, the Quickview stream‟s URL is as follows: rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/quickview,
where the x‟s are your Cube‟s IP address or link-local hostname. Use this URL with your video
stream player (VLC, TeraCentral for iPad, OPlayerHD, etc.).
2.4. Audio is currently disabled in the Quickview stream.
