Delete stream (bin button)
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stream | text | Unique, lowercase, alphanumeric stream name or identifier, linked to stream monitoring. No spaces or special characters allowed (except for ‘-’ and ‘_’). Used in output stream URLs. |
| Description | text | Brief description of stream or stream source (camera name, camera location, etc.). |
| Camera | read-only | Camera(s) to which the stream has been assigned, linked to camera configurations. |
| Status | read-only | Status of stream: “online”, “offline”, “unknown”, or “disabled”. |
| Load Balance | checkbox | Enable load balancing / failover for this stream. The stream will be moved to another server (if / when one is available), in the event of its home server being disabled, unavailable or overloaded. Shown only if load balancing enabled. |
| Current Server | read-only | Current (assigned) server. Shown only if load balancing enabled. |
| Home Server | droplist | Home server. |
| Source | text | Source URL for the stream. Must be a valid URL with a supported protocol (“udp”, “rtsp”, “rtsps”, “rtmp”, “rtmps”, “http”, “https”). |
| Transport | droplist | Transport protocol of the source stream: “TCP”, “UDP”, “MULTI”, “HTTP”, or “HTTPS”. |
| Always Active | checkbox | Stream is always ingested, even when no clients are connected. When not enabled, the stream is only ingested when requested / clients are connected. |
| Auth Token | checkbox | Token based authentication is enabled for this stream. HLS and WebRTC clients must provide a valid auth token in order to access the stream. |
| Disabled | checkbox | Disable stream. The stream will not be ingested or restreamed. |
Advanced Stream Configuration
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Secret | text | Shared (alphanumeric) secret used to generate / validate auth tokens and SRT passphrases for output streams. Must be 8 to 16 characters in length. |
| Outbound Multicast IP | text | Outbound multicast IP address for the stream (optional). If not provided, the assigned server will automatically select a multicast IP address from the RTSP Multicast CIDR configured for the server. Note that RTSP multicast must be enabled on the assigned server. |
| Push Targets | table | The target / destination endpoints for the stream (optional). When provided, the stream is pushed / published to these endpoints when available and active. |
| Conversion Type | droplist | Supported options: “None”, “Remux”, and “Transcode”. |
When “Remux” is selected, the source stream is re-multiplexed to the selected Conversion Protocol (RTSP or RTMP) prior to restreaming.
When “Transcode” is selected, the source stream is decoded and re-encoded to H.264 using the selected H264 Preset and specified Bitrate, Width, Height and Frames Per Second, then multiplexed to the selected Conversion Protocol (RTSP or RTMP) prior to restreaming. | | Conversion Protocol | droplist | Supported options: “[auto]”, “RTMP”, and “RTSP”. | | Ingest as Realtime | droplist | Supported options: “[auto]”, “YES”, and “NO”. Optionally used in HTTP/HTTPS source stream conversion. When set to ‘YES’, the source stream is read at its native frame rate, simulating a ‘live’ stream. Can improve output stream stability when re-multiplexing file segment based source streams (e.g. HLS). Default “[auto]” is “NO”. | | Remux Window (ms) | number | Used in HTTP based protocol conversion. Maximum number of milliseconds within which to re-multiplex source stream frames. Can improve output stream stability when converting file segment based source streams (e.g. HLS). Allowed range is 1000 to 5000. Default “[auto]” is 1000. | | Output Buffer (kb) | number | Used in HTTP based protocol conversion. Size of conversion output buffer in kilobytes. Allowed range is 0 to 60000. Default “[auto]” is 0 for RTSP source streams and 3000 for other source stream types. | | H.264 Preset | droplist | H.264 (libx264) preset for stream transcoding. Supported presets: “ultrafast”, “superfast”, “veryfast”, “faster”, “fast”, “medium”, “slow”, “slower”, “veryslow”, “placebo”. Default “[auto]” is veryfast. | | Bitrate (kbps) | number | Target bitrate in kilobits per second (kbps) for stream transcoding. Allowed range is 64 to 5000. Default “[auto]” is none specified (i.e., dynamic, based on source stream and other transcoding parameters). | | Frames Per Second | number | Target frame rate in frames per second for stream transcoding. Allowed range is 5 to 60. If set to Default “[auto]” or 0, source stream frame rate is used. | | Width | number | Target width in pixels for stream transcoding. Allowed range is 64 to 3840. If set to Default “[auto]”, the source stream width is used, and the Height must also be set to Default “[auto]”. | | Height | number | Target height in pixels for stream transcoding. Allowed range is 64 to 2160. If set to Default “[auto]”, the source stream height is used, and the Width must also be set to Default “[auto]”. |
Push Targets Table
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint | text | Push target URL (e.g., rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/destpath) for destination server. |
| Entity Name / Description | text | Name / description of push target / destination entity. |
