media players.
The following table gives an overview of each option.
Publishing Options
Use this option to...
UPnP
Using the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) networking protocol, your Pearl
Mini can be discovered and can stream to software and hardware media
players, set-top-boxes and Smart TVs with ease.
SAP
Viewing with Session Announcement Protocol (SAP)
SAP (session
announcement protocol) is a protocol for broadcasting multicast session
information. Media players can see the announcement or can use the
multicast SDP file (session description file) directly.
To stream video outside of your LAN, use a CDN or configure port forwarding on your router.
Refer to your Network Administrator; network configuration is beyond the scope of this guide.
Stream using UPnP
Using the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) networking protocol, your Pearl Mini can be discovered and can
stream to software and hardware media players, set-top-boxes and Smart TVs with ease. If UPnP is enabled,
the system automatically establishes communication with media players on the network.
UPnP uses MPEG-TS over HTTP with the H.264 codec and MP3 or AAC audio encoding (or no audio). You can
only access live streams or recordings that meet these requirements.
For security reasons, UPnP access to live streams and recorded files is disabled by default.
Some players can not access the stream or saved recordings if a viewer password is set. See
to remove the viewer password if set.
