There are four settings for the client side in IE.

1.The first one is “Stream Options” for users to determine which stream to be streaming. This product supports dual-stream. Therefore, there are two streams to choose.

2.The second one is “MPEG-4 Media Options” for users to determine which media to be streaming under MPEG-4 mode.

3.The third one is “MPEG-4 Protocol Options” which allows choices on connection protocol between client and server. There are four protocols choices to optimize your usage – UDP unicast, UDP multicast, TCP and HTTP.

z The UDP unicast protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.

z The UDP multicast protocol allows to save the bandwidth of server while serving multiple clients at the same time.

z The TCP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with the UDP protocol.

zThe HTTP protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and the user don’t need to open specific port to streaming under some network environment.

If no special need is required, UDP unicast protocol is recommended. Generally speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP multicast → UDP unicast → TCP → HTTP. After
