Windows Built-in
VLC media player can get from this link http://www.videolan.org/ and it acts as UDP
and HTTP multicast server or UDP unicast server.
There are some important points of using VLC
Run many VLC at un-powerful PC may cause performance issue and Windows OS is serious
than Linux.
VLC version 0.8.6b, 0.8.6c & 0.8.6d has problem when multicast 2 channels
above, no matter Linux or Windows. Version 0.8.6a is recommended.
VLC has some issue when multicast AAC audio and it transfers audio and
video PID to different value with original.

LIVE555 media server can get form http://www.live555.com/mediaServer/. It is a
complete RTSP server application. At our configuration, it plays for RTSP VOD Server.
Channel Table
The default TV channel table of XL-ITB-101 is as below. It is pre-stored at XL-ITB-101
and it’s
read-only. It want change to different channel, please refer chapter VII.
Channel
Protocol Address Port
UDP 224.1.1.10 1234
UDP 224.1.1.11 1234
UDP 224.1.1.12 1234
RTSP RTSP://192.168.10.108/1080_rueo2008_dome_dvd.ts
Step By Step
VLC Media Server
1. Install and set up DHCP server, install VLC Media Player.
2. After install, execute VLC by click desktop icon. Select “File”, “Open File…”
3. Click “Browse” button. Select media source that you want to multicast, click
“Open”. Enable “Stream/Save”, and then click “Settings…”.

13
4. There are two kinds of output protocol that XL-ITB-101 can support, UDP and
HTTP.
And two stream type: Multicast and Unicast.
UDP Multicast and Unicast
Enable “UDP” and input value of multicast channel IP and port such as channel
1: Address: 224.1.1.10, Port:1234
Click “OK” to save and close this window.
If unicast, just set Address to device IP. For example:
Address: 10.10.10.190, Port: 1234

14
5. Click “OK” to close window and start multicasting.

15
6. It can set repeat mode when multicast. Select “View”, “Playlist…”.
7. Click “Repeat one” to enable repeat mode. It has three kinds of repeat mode that you can
select: Shuffle, RepeatAll and Repeat One.
By our experience, the performance of VLC multicast at Windows OS maybe
decrease each time when repeat. This situation is much better at Linux OS.
There is some jitter when repeat at both OS, that caused by VLC. It is normal.
8. Now can connect Ethernet, output interface cable and power on XL-ITB-101.

16
After loading procedure, you can watch TV. The background of
menu page is multicast stream from 224.1.1.10.
9. Execute other VLC by click desktop icon and repeat above steps to set
other UDP
LIVE555 Media Server
1. The server is a console application (there is currently no GUI version). To
run the server, simply type "live555MediaServer".
2. Put media file that for VOD at the same directory
3. Play streams from VOD client using the URL
rtsp://<Server IP Address>/<Filename>
4. Please do not put blank at filename.
