The streaming video source may be an Allegro1 Encoder, or an encoder embodied in a Miranda Densité Probe producing thumbnail images of the signal it is monitoring. Kaleido accesses the source using an address of the form RTSP://ip_address/feedid.

In this panel, enter the two components of the address separately.

IP Address: Specify the IP address of the streaming video source.

  • If the source is an Allegro1 encoder, the IP address is that of the encoder itself.
  • If the source is a Densité probe, the IP address is that of the Miranda Application Server that is controlling the Densité frame.

Feed ID: Identify which of several possible feeds is to be displayed

Clicking the Restore Native Resolution button will change the size of the Streaming Viewer to be of the native size (pixels) of the current stream. If no stream is available, this has no effect.
