3.2.8.1 RTSP PAUSE On Live Stream

If PAUSE is requested during live streaming the data transmission will stop immediately. If PLAY later is requested the live steam starts on the latest sampled frame. That means that the client will lose the video during the time that the stream has been paused. The client is notified in the Range header which interval that will be streamed.

3.2.9 RTSP TEARDOWN

The TEARDOWN request is used to close the data delivery from the Axis product.

Example 9:

Request:

TEARDOWN rtsp://myserver/axis-media/media.amp ?videocodec=h264&resolution=640x480 RTSP/1.0 CSeq: 6

User-Agent: Axis AMC

Session: 12345678

3.2.10 RTSP SET_PARAMETER

The SET_PARAMETER command is used to change session parameters, currently only I-frame request is supported. The command sets the Renew-Streamparameter to yes.

Note

Renew-Streammust be sent in the body. The corresponding Renew-Streamparameter in some firmware 4.xx products had to be sent in the header. See example 2 below.

Example 10:

Use of SET_PARAMETER in firmware 5.xx products. Renew-Streamis sent in the body.

Request:

SET_PARAMETER rtsp://myserver/axis-media/media.amp RTSP/1.0

CSeq: 7

Session: 12345678
