Video Streaming

though these formats should work with most remote video streams, the quality will vary on a case by case basis video streaming has been tested and optimized for streaming sources within a local network, not from remote servers if you do wish to stream video content from a remote source, we suggest testing the setup thoroughly before deployment to ensure it meets standards of quality and reliability you can display streaming video using video stream states or html5 pages if you are writing a brightscript application, the rortspstream object handles all streaming protocols (despite its name) supported formats and configurations are described below note that video bitrates and profiles tend to be limited by internet bandwidth rather than the video decode rate of the player do not use ports 8888 or 9999 since these ports may be used by the brightsign os hls brightsign players support hls live streaming, but large playlists (which usually result from the server delivering a dvr playlist rather than a live playlist) will cause performance issues encapsulation mpeg2 ts for video streams (raw aac or mp3 for audio only streams) codec h 264 or h 265 for video streams udp / rtp the following udp/rtp encoders have been tested and are proven to be compatible with brightsign players exterity e3535 comm tec protune iii other encoders are likely to be compatible with brightsign players also, but have not been officially tested if the video stream is using rtsp to control connections between endpoints, the video must be encapsulated using mpeg2 ts encapsulation mpeg2 ts or mpeg4 codec h 264 or h 265 for video streams http codec any video codec docid\ knsffwmtd4nswxm4bup0i by brightsign players (including h 265 for 4k models) encryption protocols brightsign players support several video encryption protocols via docid\ e6ujleh69q0jmmv8kytrp or docid\ ztuz0ldazcml2kqmdbkcn other customers have reported that the following streaming servers and stream types are compatible wowza streaming server apple hls (h 264, aac audio), default rtsp stream for android mobile devices (tested with fw 6 2 45 and brightauthor 4 6 0 8) source specific multicast (igmpv3) streaming is supported with brightsignos 6 2 147 and later to access a source specific multicast stream, use the following url format udp\ //\<source ip address>@\<multicast address> if you are running into video quality issues as a result of poor network performance, you can try increasing the size of the streaming buffer on the player or reducing the default latency of the streaming video, both of which are described in docid 0tioy9pjdgg4g25ygbnib
