Streaming Protocols

Specialising in the niche video over IP industry, Antrica are an industry-leading manufacturer with over 15 years experience in markets across the globe. Their products are renowned for their reliability, ease of integration, streaming compatibility with multiple options including RTSP, RTMP and MPEG-TS and overall performance.

We offer a range of video encoders with varying video streaming protocols. RTSP (real time streaming protocol) , RTMP (real time messaging protocol) , MPEG-TS are all digital container formats that can be used (along with others) which package varying types of data (video / audio etc). RTSP is a streaming protocol mainly used in the CCTV industry and ONVIF relies on this standard. RTSP generally is a protocol where the decoder requests a stream from the encoder.

RTMP is used to stream to Web based services like You Tube. MPEG-TS is a broadcast standard and is generally referred to as one way streaming. The encoder sends out a stream and has no knowledge of how many decoders are viewing this stream (Multicast) . The TV industry uses this form of streaming to support multiple households from a single satellite. MPEG-TS Multicast is commonly used but this requires specific network conditions to work effectively.

The ANT-3xxxx range is fully ONVIF Profile S & G Compliant.

 

A fully ONVIF encoder will 100% work as ONVIF guarantees compatibility (ANT-3XXXX range). However, if you need a ‘view only’ stream and can live without ONVIF discovery then we have the ANT-2XXX range which can sometimes integrate. We can provide a public IP stream for you to test if you need.

Yes, we do for larger projects. We also offer a remote way of testing the stream’s integration.

Any H.265 option will be suitable.

The ANT-36100, as it has alarm/serial data controls, as well as PoE, and is a more industrial-type decoder.

Yes. Providing you have anti-static handling procedures in place, these can be used in any applications where it can be ‘housed’.

This is due to the fact we use low bit rates and compression, so we need at least 1-2 frames for encoding. Decoders need buffering to work, so most latency is in the decoder end.

Yes and no. Any decoding and re-encoding potentially reduces the quality, but using sufficiently high bit rates will allow the quality to look as good as the original.

Yes, these are intended to be low-latency wireless links with Video in and Video out.

Some of our decoders don’t have HD-SDI as an output. These converters offer a solution to have an HD-SDI output when required.

ANTRICA 'GOES GREEN' - SINGLE USE PLASTIC ZERO "usage" POLICY

Antrica have taken on the challenge of reducing to zero all single use plastic within its packaging of Encoders and Decoders by the end of 2020. We are also striving to provide paperless shipments wherever possible.

Together we can make the world better!
