(The [UDP] protocol will be selected for this example).
[UDP]: This protocol prioritizes transfer speeds but does not guarantee the reliability/integrity of the data. Lost or delayed IP packets are ignored.
[RTP]: Standard protocol for video/audio broadcasts over the internet. Lost or delayed IP packets are ignored.
[RTP+FEC]: This setting uses the RTP protocol and adds a layer of FEC error correction so the receiving side* can recover lost or delayed IP packets. This combination is more common for broadcasts over Wi- Fi networks.
[RTSP+RTP]: This setting uses the RTSP (reel time streaming) protocol to control the streaming server 9camera) in real time and the RTP protocol for the broadcast over IP.
With the RSTP protocol, the receiver can control when to start and stop the
broadcast.
*A decoder or PC software that supports FEC control is required.
