RTSP streaming to IP QAM device / COAX

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi,

We are currently evaluating Wowza for streaming product and it looks great. We have one question though.

Some of our deployment has limited Ethernet bandwidth so we want to try utilize existing COAX (RF) network for video delivery.

We have IP QAM devices that takes unicast UDP Mpeg 2/4 TS packets and modulate to RF signal for TV to display.

The question now is how can we request a stream via RTSP from Wowza to go to the IP QAM device.

Some RTSP implementation extends the RTSP “transport” header to allow something like: MP2T/DVBC/QAM (as oppose to RTP/AVP/UDP).

Is there anything similar in Wowza that can delivery this kind of RTSP streaming? Or any API that we can extend to implement this?

Thanks a bunch.

Try add the forceMPEGTSOut Property set to “true” in the Application.xml /RTP Properties container:

<Property>
<Name>forceMPEGTSOut</Name>
<Value>true</Value>
<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>
