In MPEG Transport Stream Mode, Prism sends video via a TCP or UDP protocol to a specified unicast or multicast address. TCP is recommended when streaming over the Internet, while UDP is recommended when streaming over a local network to avoid the additional network overhead of TCP. Select the protocol best suited for your application needs, and ensure the Prism encoder is configured to stream to the Prism decoders corresponding IP address and port.

SRT
SRT is used to transmit high quality, low-latency video over unreliable networks. SRT has two connection types: Listener or Caller. When the connection type is set to Listener, the encoder waits for the client to connect and pull the stream from it. When the connection type is set to Caller, the encoder pushes video to a single destination IP address on a specific port. For either mode, a port number is needed, and a passphrase (if encryption is enabled). For a direct connection (Caller mode), enter the correct destination IP address.

RTSP
When RTSP mode is enabled, the decoder communicates whether to use the TCP or UDP protocol for the stream. Ensure you have the correct port and stream name (stream1 is the default). To view your stream on VLC, copy the IP address from the Host field, launch VLC and open File>Open Network. Paste the IP address in the URL field, then click Open.
