After you finish configuring the network connection, you can configure the streaming function.

Select [STREAMING] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [DUAL CODEC SETTING] → [CODEC USAGE].

Streaming function is enabled.

Set the streaming mode in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [DUAL CODEC SETTING] → [STREAMING MODE].

- Select either [LOW], [HQ], [AVC-G6], [SHQ (QoS)], or [AVC-G (QoS)].

- For details on combinations of system modes and streaming modes, refer to the table in “List of system modes and supported streaming output”.

Set the method for starting streaming.

- When starting streaming through operation from an application software

  - Select [RECEIVER] in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START TRIGGER].

- When starting streaming through operation from the camera

  - Select [CAMERA] in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START TRIGGER].

  - Perform following settings when the streaming mode is set to [SHQ (QoS)] or [AVC-G (QoS)] in Step 2.

    Set the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [DUAL CODEC SETTING] → [QoS MAX RATE] and [QoS MIN RATE].

  - Set the delay mode during live streaming in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [DUAL CODEC SETTING] → [STREAMING LATENCY]. Set to [NORMAL] if you want to emphasize the stability of streaming. Set to [SHORT] if you want to emphasize the reduction of streaming delay.

Start streaming.

- When starting streaming through operation from an application software

  If you started streaming using an application software, the camera starts the transmission of streaming video.

- When starting streaming through operation from the camera

  Select [ON] in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START].

  If the camera is connected to the transmission destination through a network, the camera starts the transmission of streaming video.

  To stop the transmission of streaming video, select [OFF] in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START].

  Also, the start and stop of the streaming image distribution can be controlled by the USER button when [STREAMING START] is assigned to the USER button with the main menu → [USER SW].

NOTE

- To display streaming video using the P2 Browser, VLC Media Player is required for Windows OS and QuickTime Player is required for Mac OS.

  However, the P2 Browser does not support the QoS function.

- For details on downloading application software which supports video streaming and the operating environment, visit the support desk at the following website:

- The streaming function cannot be used together with the dual codec recording, simultaneous recording, and background recording.

- The streaming function cannot be used together with the rec during upload function.

- If available bandwidth of the network is low and streaming playback is interrupted, this can be improved by selecting a lower bitrate mode in [STREAMING MODE], or selecting either [SHQ (QoS)] or [AVC-G (QoS)]. In addition, if [SHQ (QoS)] or [AVC-G (QoS)] is selected, the terminal that receives streaming data needs to support the QoS function.

- The streaming video from the camera will be a black screen in the thumbnail mode and playback mode (including the recording check).
