MPEG-TS streams using UDP push

5. Enter the destination port number through which the media will stream.

6. (Optional) To advertise your stream to a media player over a local network, do the following:

a. Check SAP announcement to enable advertising your stream over a local network. When this is

enabled and a multicast IP address is configured, your stream is displayed in the playlist of the
local media player.

b. Enter a multicast IP address in the SAP announcement IP field. If your media player is configured

to receive multicast streams from an IP address that is different from the default address
224.2.127.254, you may need to contact your system administrator for a specific multicast IP
address.

c. Enter a channel number in the Channel number field to identify your stream in the media player.

By default, the Channel number is the channel identifier.

When a channel number value is not specified, viewers cannot select a channel
from the set-top box or Smart TV .

d. Enter a name for a group of streams in the text box next to Group name. Since media players

simply present a list of available streams, you can organize your streams into multiple folders or in
cases where folders are not displayed, use dot separator hierarchy to help your viewers filter out
unwanted streams by category.

7. Click Apply.

8. Select Start when you're ready to start streaming.

9. Select the Info menu to see the stream information.

View the MPEG-TS RTP/UDP stream

To view the stream from a media player, open the URL in the media player, for example:

rtp://@ip:port or in the case of the sample configuration in the figure shown above:

rtp://@226.10.24.32:7000

To view the stream when SAP announce has been set and the stream is advertised on a media player, set-top
box, or Smart TV, refer to

Viewing with Session Announcement Protocol (SAP)

.
