User’s Manual v.4 QVidium ® QVARQ QoS Proxy Server™
3.4 Server Mode
In addition to passively listening for a stream that you would push from a media source, you can
also set the receiver proxy to be in Server Mode where it pulls a stream from a QVidium encoder
or even another QVidium TX Proxy Server. In Server mode, when you start the receive proxy it
remotely start a QVidium encoder and initiates a video stream. To put a QVAVC encoder in server
mode, simply leave the Destination IP Address blank and Start the encoder. This will cause the
encoder to listen for a start packet from the receive proxy.
To have the receive proxy initiate a stream in Server mode, go to the Server tab and configure the
following parameters, as shown in Figure 4, below.
1. Click ‘Yes’ under “User Server” so that Server mode will be enabled when you next start the
proxy receiver.
2. Enter the IP address or hostname of the media source you want to pull the stream from.
3. Set the Echo Port to match the echo port on the media source. Normally the echo port has a
default value of 7. You should keep this value at the default of 7 unless you have reason to
change it and you have also changed the corresponding entry on the video source.
4. Click Start on the receive server to restart it in Server mode.
