Switching Transmission Mode You can change the transmission mode for video/audio data. This function can be used when the ActiveX viewer in the live viewer is used. Selection of Unicast and Multicast is available only when the video codec of image is set to H.264. Note The function may not operate correctly if you use personal firewall software or antivirus software on your computer. In that case, disable the software or select the TCP mode. 1 Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the Connection drop-down list in the Other panel. Notes • When connecting via a proxy server, neither Unicast nor Multicast can be selected. • The settings of connection items are saved automatically. When saving as a setting other than TCP, ActiveX viewer may not operate properly depending on the network environment. In this case, return to the initial setting by deleting the file below. For example: the main drive is C C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Sony\ SNCActiveXViewer\SNCActiveXViewer_configurati on.ini Operating the Camera Via a Network TCP: This is normally selected. When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In an environment capable of reading Web pages, you can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the TCP port. Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Realtime Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio communications. Since RTP is the protocol for running video/audio data, the video/audio playback is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If a firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, or depending on the network environment, video/audio may not play back properly when Unicast is selected. In this case, select TCP. Multicast: This protocol is selectable when Multicast streaming in the Streaming tab of the Streaming menu is set to Enable. When Multicast is selected as the transmission port, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio transmission. By selecting it, the network transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If a router that does not correspond to a multicast or firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, video/audio may not play back properly. In this case, select TCP or Unicast. 17 Switching Transmission Mode
