Operation Manual

UDP Multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients
requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the KX-NTV150/
KX-NTV160 while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the KX-NTV150/
KX-NTV160 must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, please
refer to RTSP Streaming on page 85.
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality.
The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specific ports for
streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming
data through.

Local streaming buffer time
Due to the unsteady bandwidth flow, the live streaming may lag and not be very smooth. If you enable this
option, the live streaming will be stored on the cache memory of the PC having a web session with the
KX-NTV150/KX-NTV160 for a few seconds before being played on the live viewing window. This helps you
see the streaming more smoothly. If you enter 3000 Millisecond, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds.
