  - Set the delay mode during live streaming in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [DUAL CODEC SETUP] → [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.

  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 → [I/F SETUP] → [USB/LAN] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START].

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

  To stop the transmission of streaming video, select [OFF] in the main menu → [I/F SETUP] → [USB/LAN] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START].

  The streaming video distribution can be started or stopped by the <USER> button by assigning [STREAMING START] to the <USER> button using the main menu → [CAMERA] → [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.

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

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

- If availabe 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 distribution video from the camera will be a black screen in the playback mode (including the recording check).
