Streaming a channel directly to viewers
You can stream any channel on Pearl Mini directly to your viewers on your local network, who can tune in and
watch your program using their web browser or media player.
Quickly stream content to viewers simultaneously. Pearl Mini is ready to stream content directly to viewers on
the local network using the default streaming settings as soon as you've powered on the system and
configured a channel. Just choose the method that's right for you.
Table 48 Publishing options for streaming to viewers on the local network
Publishing Options Use this option to...
HTTP or HTTPS
Viewers can access the Live broadcast URL using a web browser on the local
network and are instantly connected.
Viewers can also choose to use their favorite media player to watch the
stream on the local network. They just need the URL for any of the other
supported streaming methods (like FLV or MPEG-TS) to watch using their
media player.
Use these direct streaming methods for only a small number of viewers
because each viewer uses the full stream bandwidth and consumes
resources on Pearl Mini. For more information about using an HTTP stream,
see
Stream content using HTTP, HTTPS or RTSP .
RTSP
Viewers can copy and paste the URL of the RTSP stream into a media player
and watch the stream on the local network. For more information about
using RTSP streaming, see
Stream content using HTTP, HTTPS or RTSP .
To stream video outside of your LAN, you must configure port forwarding on your router. Consult
with your Network Administrator.
To set up Pearl Mini for direct streaming to viewers, see:
