IP Streaming
When the main recording mode is set to [XF-AVC (CFast)], after you connect the camera to a network (Wi-Fi
(Infrastructure) or wired (Ethernet)), you can stream the camera’s live video and audio* over IP to a compatible IP
video decoder** connected to the network. You can use IP streaming for live broadcasts or to send a news flash
report from a location with poor network connectivity, since the configuration of streamed video is lower (so the
data to be transferred is smaller) than that of recorded clips.
* Only 2 channels. When recording main recording clips with 4 audio channels, you can select which two channels to stream over
IP.
** This can be a dedicated video transfer device or decoder software on a computer. For details about compatible decoders,
please visit your local Canon Web site.
Configuration of video streamed over IP
* Only when [Camera Setup] > [Sensor Mode] is set to [Super 35mm] or [Super 35mm (Cropped)].
Preparations
Before you can stream video over IP, you need to configure settings related to the transfer like the protocol and
port number to use. You can also select the configuration of the streamed video.
