5.12. Difference in configurable items for each channel

LiveShell X has four video stream channels (#0 to #3). The roles of each channel are as follows.

  • #0~2・・・Channels used for live streaming or recording.
  • #3 ・・・Channel used for preview before live streaming or recording.

Differences per channel

Channel #0 can not be changed, it is fixed to the same as input resolution, the frame rate can be set at up to 60 fps.
To change output resolution, change the resolution of the input or change settings in the LiveShell X device menu or Dashboard to use channel #1 or 2.

We recommend you to use channel #1 or  2 when live streaming or recording at a frame rate of 30 fps or less.

Note

  • If a class D address is specified, it becomes multicast. Please use 239.0.0.0 ~ 239.255.255.255. The default address is as follows.
    • #0: 239.11.250.0
    • #1: 239.11.250.1
    • #2: 239.11.250.2
  • The default port number is “1234”.
  • TTL should be larger than the number of routers through which the multicast packet passes.
    (When distributing to a local network, TTL should normally be set to “1”.)
  • When viewing multicast video in VLC, please add “@” before the IP address in the URL.
    Ex: udp://@239.11.250.0:1234
