AXIS Media Control - FAQ

Support for other MPEG-4 clients

Question:

Are there any other clients than AXIS Media Control embedded in the product's Live View and Windows Media Player supported when talking about MPEG-4 streaming?

Answer:

Although it may be possible to use other clients to view the MPEG-4 stream, this is not guaranteed by Axis.

For some other clients, e.g. QuickTime™ the Video Object Type must be set to Simple where applicable. It may also be necessary to adjust the advanced MPEG-4 settings.

To access the video stream from e.g. QuickTime™ the following path can be used:
rtsp://IP/mpeg4/#/media.amp

This path is for all supported methods, and the client will negotiate with the camera/video server to determine exactly which transport protocol to use.

IP = IP address.
# = video source number or the quad stream. This is set to 1 if omitted.
When accessing MPEG-4 stream using QuickTime latency is going to be 3 seconds.
