Connecting to Streams Without SAP Announcements

For a source that is not configured for SAP announcements (such as IP cameras), the RTSP

(pull) stream URI is entered directly in the Source field of the SMD101 player controls. The

URI prefix (udp in the example below) corresponds to the streaming method.

UDP or RTP Connections

To connect the SMD101 to a stream using the destination port of the encoder, use the

following template:

udp://@:<destination port>

For example, to connect to a SME100 stream, enter the following URI in the SMD101

Source field (see Source field on page18):

udp://@:60000

The SMD101 also supports the URI formats:

rtp://192.168.254.254@192.168.254.254:60000

and

rtp://@192.168.254.254:60000

HTTP Connection to an SME100

To connect SME100 unicast or multicast push streams over HTTP, use the following

templates.

For unicast streams with no password, the URI format is:

http://<sme100_ip>/web/output1.sdp.

For multicast RTP over UDP RTSP (pull) streams with no credentials set, the URI format is:

http://<sme100_ip>/web/multicast.sdp.

NOTE: A typical IPv4 address for an SME100 device on a private network is

192.168.nnn.nnn or 10.nnn.nnn.nnn). A multicast address is in the range

224.nnn.nnn.nnn to 239.nnn.nnn.nnn.

If the encoder has an active admin password, it challenges the connection. An admin or

user password is required for connection. To play the stream, the user name and password

must be embedded in the URI entered in the Source field.

For unicast or multicast PUSH streams with a password, the URI format is:

http://user:password@<sme100_ip_adr>/web/output1.sdp.

For multicast RTP over UDP RTSP (pull) streams with a password, the URI format is:

http://user:password@<sme100_ip_adr>/web/output1/multicast.sdp.

In the following example, connect to a unicast RTSP over UDP stream broadcast from the

SME100 in figure 49 on page 53, using an admin password “123456”.

1. Locate the HTTP stream in the streams browser (see Player Page on page16).

2. Drag and drop the stream into the player panel. An error message indicates the stream

load failed. The URI of the stream is shown in the Source: field.

3. Click the ellipsis (...) to open the full file path.
