Chapter 3 Media 49
The advantage of this media type is that it requires no additional hardware 
installed in the computer and that it adds new kinds of video sources. A 
possible disadvantage is the noticeable delay incurred by the network stream 
processing, making it unsuitable for on-camera speaker display (IMAG), or 
other applications calling for low latency.
Assuming that you have such a network streaming source available, it can now 
be incorporated into your presentation by choosing “Add Network Video” on 
the Media menu. Specify a name for the source, such as the name of a 
network-attached camera.
Stream Choose whether the data is sent as a multicast or unicast stream. In general, 
unicast is preferred. Use multicast only if the video stream will be shown by 
multiple display computers simultaneously. This setting doesn’t apply to RTP 
streams.
