Hi there,

I tried to use RTSP over UDP but without success (Add Input -> Stream). I tried both the free edition and the trial edition.

I checked this with Wireshark. It doesn't matter if I choose RTSP over TCP or RTSP over UDP. Every time a TCP packet was sent.

Any suggestions?

Thanks. Michael

Hi

Changing the option "RTSP over TCP" and "RTSP over UDP" changes the listener on the receiving side (vMix). It has no influnce on the sending side.

You shoud check which protocol your sending device is using (TCP/UDP) and set the option in vMix accordingly.

Be ware that vMix only supports RTSP streams sent with H264 video and AAC audio.

Could be that my first post is technically not fully correct: I'm not quite shure if there is really a "listener" on vMix side...

But at the end, if you habe a UDP server on camera side, then the correct setting in vMix is "RTSP over UDP".

To anser your question: yes, this should be possible. There are for example a few rasperry pi camera projects which send a working UDP RTSP stream to vMix.

Sometimes you have to append some more information to the URL, but that depends on the implementation of the server or IP camera (like "rtsp://192.168.1.5:554/main" or so). Also the port depends on the configuration of the server. But if you implement the server yourself then your the one who can decide how the URL looks like :-)

In my experience, it's much easier to do basic RTSP tests with VLC because it's less strict checking the stream format than vMix. If you have a working stream in VLC you can switch to vMix and start optimizing.
