Send Stream to Network
The Visualizer has a built-in streaming server which is capable of broadcasting audio and video content
over the network.
(#45)
Select desired resolution, frame rate and format (keep in mind, these settings are influencing the network
traffic).
To open the stream with a third party application, just input the network URL into the address field:
Internet Browser, example: http://192.168.0.2
Media Player, example: http://192.168.0.2/stream.sdp
The IP address is the IP-address of the Visualizer (on-screen menu Advanced Settings / Ethernet Settings).
The Visualizer broadcasts the currently shown content of video (live camera, external HDMI-IN or memory)
and audio (HDMI-In or Line-In) to the network.
For full functionality JAVA version 7 or higher is necessary when using a browser to listen.
For full functionality following ports are necessary: 50915, 50913, 8800 and 8801 (by default).
Ensure that the used port and IP-address is not blocked by any firewall.
Please note, some network routers are not able to forward multicast streams.
Prepare Ethernet connection (wired or wireless) and select ”Streaming Settings” in the on-screen menu
Advanced Settings / Ethernet Settings. There you can assign the IP address of the destination (for multicast
select: 225.0.0.0 to 238.255.255.255; with all other addresses the stream can be received at one
destination only; 224.x.x.x and 239.x.x.x are reserved.), port, mode, resolution, frame rate and format of the
stream (up to RTP H264).
With mode setting ”AUTO” the Visualizer streams on demand only. The WolfVision vLink Software and
most internet browsers can start the stream automatically. In case your browser or third party application
(media player) cannot start the streaming function, use the STREAMING key
or change the mode to
”Continuous” for permanent streaming (please note the resulting network traffic).
Technical Background: UDP Multicast works like a broadcast - many clients are watching the same video
stream. In Multicast mode the bandwidth is always the same, no matter how many computers are
connected. However as many routers do not support Multicast, UDP Unicast can be used instead for point-
to-point connection (one client is possible).
In TCP Singlecast mode each computer opens a separate connection to the Visualizer, which requires a lot
of bandwidth if many clients are connected (max. 128 connections). Audio is not supported.
Hints:
Receive Stream - vSolution Connect (Apple iPad)
The Visualizer supports receiving network streams from an iPad over the network.
Once the vSolution Connect app is downloaded to the iPad, connect the iPad to the same network as the
Visualizer and start the app. Then simply tap the ”Connect” icon, place it in the pick-up area of the Visualizer
camera and follow the instructions on the iPad. The synchronization will be done by a special red/blue
flashing sequence.
When the connection is established, documents from the iPad can be sent to the Visualizer or the iPad can
receive the displayed image. The iPad can also be used as a whiteboard and for storing image and video
material.
To swap from iPad source to e.g. Visualizer camera just press the LIVE key (#33) on the remote control. To
switch back, press the STRM key (#41).
Please note:
vSolution Connect blocks video recording on the Visualizer, use recording function on iPad.
vSoulition Connect blocks every other stream via Ethernet and USB.
