In this presentation, we review how to live streaming RTSP in H.265 to the latest VLC Media Player. VLC Media Player now supports H.265 streaming and the PTZOptics cameras support H.265 streaming with both video and audio. By using H.265 RTSP Streaming users can reduce bandwidth with great video quality similar to H.264. Users can also expand their video production workflows with the NewTek NDI plugin for VLC Media Player. This plugin is available for free and allows all media ingested by VLC to be used in support NewTek NDI products such as: TriCasters, Wirecast, vMix, Livestream and much more. We review how to setup the PTZOptics cameras for H.265 RTSP Streaming and ingesting that video into the VLC Media Player. From there we use the NewTek NDI to transmit video to multiple other destinations for ISORecording and using the vMix Multicorder feature.

Setting Up the VLC Plugin to work
with the NewTek NDI is quite easy
once you have installed the basic
NewTek NDI tool pack. This plugin is
currently only available for Windows
Users.
Navigate to the Tools > Preferences
tab to setup your Audio and Video to
be sent via NewTek NDI.

10. NewTek NDI w/ VLC Plugin
In your Audio & Video Settings select NewTek NDI Output.

11. NewTek Free vs Pro IsoCorder
Finally, we can now start to use our
H.265 RTSP stream with video and
audio in our video production. One
great use case is the NewTek NDI
IsoCorder. The IsoCorder come in a
Pro and Free Version. The options
for each program are outlined here.

12. Using your NewTek NDI source in vMix
vMix is a great live streaming
program that includes support for the
NewTek NDI. Once VLC is properly
setup vMix will automatically
discover the video stream and can
be added to your video production.

13. Using the vMix Multicorder
The vMix multicorder does not
support RTSP streaming media. But
it does support capture cards,
cameras and NDI sources. So by
creating an NDI source from our
H.265 RTSP stream we can now use
the vMix Multicorder. This
multicorder feature is only available
in 4K and Pro versions of vMix.
