The Visualizer offers streaming of live images in UDP Multicast/Unicast and TCP Singlecast mode.

UDP Multicast works like a broadcast - many clients are watching the same video stream. In Multicast mode the bandwidth is always the same, no matter how many computers are connected. However as many routers do not support Multicast, UDP Unicast can be used instead for point-to-point connection (one client is possible).

In TCP Singlecast mode each computer opens a separate connection to the Visualizer, which requires a lot of bandwidth if many clients are connected (max. 128 connections are possible). TCP Singlecast will be supported by all Visualizers.

Possible UDP streaming formats:

MJPG: Motion JPEG, video consists of single pictures compressed as JPEG

RTP MJPG: Real-time Transport Protocol of Motion JPEG for better compatibility and fail safe

RTP H264: Real-time Transport Protocol with H.264 codec with higher compression to reduce the necessary network bandwidth
