Content Output Streaming

 

Applies to HMP400/W, iBX410/W, iBX440 with SYSTEMS Feature Set.

Description

Content Output Streaming allows your SpinetiX player to encode and publish its rendered content as an IP stream. This means the same content displayed on the connected screen can also be streamed over the network (IPTV, RTSP/RTP), or toward live-streaming servers (RTMP) such as YouTube Studio, Microsoft Stream, IBM Video Streaming, Vimeo, etc. In the player web interface, this feature is labeled “Output Streaming”.

Output Streaming settings → RTSP

This feature is enabled and configured in Control Center, from the Advanced Applications ⇾ Output Streaming section. The following modes are supported:

• IPTV mode (MPEG2-TS unicast or multicast, with or without RTP headers), with H.264 video and MPEG1 Layer 2, AAC or AC-3 audio.
• RTSP/RTP in unicast, multicast, or TCP mode, with H.264 video and MPEG1 Layer 2, AAC, AC-3, or Opus audio.
• RTMP(S) upstream with H.264 video and AAC audio.

Notes

• Simple configuration is done via Control Center, advanced configuration via the Configuration API.
• RTSP basic authentication is supported, but the RTSP server is not over TLS.
• Multicast support is still deemed experimental.
• YouTube Studio and Microsoft Stream require an audio track to be present in the input stream, so make sure the audio is activated on the player side. Other platforms may also require it.
