Operation Manual

If the IP address of the port being accessed is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, the available local HLS
channels can also be accessed through this direct link:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/HLS/
The page accessed through this link will display a list of available local HLS channels, with the
value configured for Program Name as the label:
Note that HLS channels configured for remote servers will not be listed in this page, as the B264
has no way of knowing the actual link to these channels.
Clicking on the link will cause the content to play. For Apple devices (iPods, iPads, iPhones,
etc.), this will launch the built-in media player; for PCs running Windows (and possibly Linux),
if the VLC plugin is installed, the video will play in the web page.
Direct HTTP Streaming
If an encoder channel is configured for Direct HTTP Streaming, the selection happens as
depicted below. Unlike multicast, Direct HTTP Streaming will work over the Internet as long as
the path from the encoder to the client has sufficient bandwidth. Direct HTTP Streaming is
always available on both Ethernet ports.
