Streaming to a CDN, multicasting, and streaming to multiple
destinations
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) relies on geo-diverse CDN servers to receive and disperse web content to the
CDN server closest to the user. The closer the server is to the user, the faster the content is delivered. Streaming
your content through a CDN allows you to stream any time, anywhere, regardless of the viewing device and you
don't have to worry about maintaining your own video streaming servers on site.
Streaming content to a multicast IP address is different than streaming to a CDN. Multicasting lets you directly
share the stream with multiple viewers on the same LAN. All viewers receive the same stream at the same time.
Similar to turning on a radio station where all listeners hear the same music at the same time. Multicasting is
useful for training sessions when there is a specific time frame for the audience to view the content live.
Pearl Mini can publish to multiple destinations at the same time. Do not use Motion JPEG (MJPEG) encoding
when streaming a channel to CDNs and multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see
Configure video encoding .

Content Distribution
Network (CDN)
Stream web content to many viewers on different Content Delivery Networks
simultaneously to any geographical location. Using a CDN to host your broadcast is
highly scalable and saves you from having to purchase and maintain your own
servers to host and deliver video content.
Using one or more CDNs to stream live content allows you to reach a large
geographically diverse audience and because CDNs perform format conversion, the
stream is platform independent.
Streaming protocols supported include: SRT (push), HLS (push), RTMP/RTMPS, .
