Datapath Wall Control - Manual (Page 152)

Requirements for Wall Control-red compatibility:
RTSP support – Wall Control-red uses the network control protocol RTSP to communicate with the IP-Camera.
Therefore when choosing an IP-Camera you should ensure that it supports this protocol.
Non-proprietary video decoder or client support – Some IP-Camera manufacturers provide their own proprietary video
decoders and/or client software to decode and render the streams from their IP-Cameras. This effectively locks the IP-
Camera into using their decoder or client software. Wall Control-red decodes and renders the IP stream using a version
of the open source client VLC . It may therefore not be possible to decode the stream using VLC if it is in a proprietary
format. If in doubt consider asking the IP-Camera manufacturer whether they support video playback by non-proprietary
client software, including VLC.
1 This functionality is dependent on Wall Control-red licensing. Please contact support for further information.
2 Support for non-recommended IP-Cameras cannot be guaranteed due to the use of proprietary formats and lack of standards between IP-Camera
manufacturers. If in doubt please contact support before purchasing an IP-Camera.
