What is the best method to stream multiple video inputs to the same IP address?

Postby SaundersB » 05 Jan 2017 01:01

I've been researching different video streaming protocols. I.E. HTTP, RTP, RTSP, UDP, etc... And I'm trying to figure out what the best method to send several video inputs (web cams, SDI inputs on a Blackmagic card, etc...) to either an Android tablet or an iPad.

What would be my best bet in terms of sending several of these inputs over the wifi to the tablet? I'm looking for efficiency, and preferably a UDP based solution. I'm thinking no more than 4 video inputs at a time on the tablet. Also, would wireless AC help with throughput?

Thank you in advance.

FYI. So far I've found that the VLC mosaic is the best option to send multiple video inputs to a single receiver. I'm still trying to figure out the most efficient video streaming protocol though. Please let me know if anybody on this forum has any suggestions. Thank you.

In my opinion, Best protocol to stream multiple video RTSP.

RTSP tends to displays a green or grey overlay until the frame refreshes after a few seconds. Especially over wifi. Have you experienced the same?
