You cannot create two external servers with the same Server type, IP, Port, and Application Name. This is because the RealPresence Capture Server system does not allow publishing two streams to the same publish point to avoid overwriting the first stream by the second one.

External latency time will be introduced when external media server configured, compared with live streaming from Capture Server, the exact time varies depending on streaming protocol.
