Chapter 5 Cisco Hinter for RTSP

Procedures

Restrictions

RTSP Variants

There are many variants of RTSP and we support only one of them. You must use RTP over RTSP, which is also called RTP over TCP or Interleaved TCP. In this variant, RTP, RTCP, and RTSP data stream together over one logical port — typically, port 554.

Our RTSP does not support live streaming (multicast or unicast) in this release.

Our RTSP does not support “trick mode.” This means that you cannot pause video during playback, fast-forward through it, or fast-rewind through it. You can merely start or stop playback.

Darwin Streaming Server

DSS cannot read any file whose file size is greater than 2.1 GB. You must split such large files into smaller ones before you derive hinted MOV output from them.

Although DSS is an open source streaming media platform and available for multiple operating systems, we have tested DSS on Linux exclusively.

Cisco Hinter

Cisco Hinter software is available for Windows and Linux, exclusively.

We do not support any other hinter.

We do not support playback of hinted files that you output from any other hinter.

Protocols

We do not support User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

We do not support Session Announcement Protocol (SAP).

We do not support Session Description Protocol (SDP) or its announcements.
