Quickstart - Single Direction Point to Point

Updated on

TRT is available using the Next-Gen encoder/decoder pipelines available in Prism. TRT has two connection types: Server (Listener Mode) or Client (Caller Mode). When the connection type is set to Server, the encoder waits for the client (decoder) to connect and pull the stream from it. When the connection type is set to Client, the encoder pushes video to a single destination IP address on a specific port. Select “Next-Gen” from the codec mode options on your encoder and decoders Input/Encoding and Output/Decoding pages.

2. Navigate to the Streaming Settings menu and select TRT as the Stream Mode. NOTE: Ensure that the Connection Mode is set to Client.
3. Enter the Decoder’s host IP address in the Host field, then change the Host Port value, if needed (default is 5000). Click Save.
