MediaServerAxon has two functions: Discovery and generating an RTSP stream.

 

MediaServerAxon turns the incoming video stream into a ONVIF camera, broadcasting itself to be picked up by all VMS systems.

It generates a RTSP stream, that can be viewed or recorded.

One MediaServerAxon can only have one video source. When multiple streams need recording the Cortex has to be configured with multiple MediaServerAxons.

 

Depending on the incoming video stream it will output a RTSP stream in different formats.

In the Cortex all Axons with an image output can be the source stream for the MediaServerAxon.

It can be the IDSAxon as well as the USBCameraAxon followed by a ImgCropAxon.

 

The Cortex configuration can look like the example below.

 

CC_MediaServerAxon_CortexDesign

 

Settings

 

CC_MediaServerAxon_Settings

 

 

1.RTSP link
The RTSP address to be used or to be seen with ONVIF discovery in Video Management Systems or other application that need a RTSP feed.

1.Clipboard
Copy RTSP address

2.Encoder
Encoding to used for the output stream.

3.Quality
Quality of the video stream. 0 is lowest quality. 100 is highest quality.

4.Max FPS
The maximum frames per second of the output stream

 

 

AVUTEC rtsp url format

 

The MediaserverAxon is listening on the standard RTSP port 554.

 

1. The format:

rtsp://username:password@ipadress/corteximagepath

 

•username = username of the hypervisor/CortexDevice

•password = password of the hypervisor

•ipadress = ipadress of the hypervisor

•corteximagepath = the names of the axons separated by a dot of the path of the image.

 

2. The example

•username: administrator

•password: cortex

•ipadress: 192.168.1.106

•cortex imagepath:
The image origin is the context camera with name USBCamera0.
The url will look like:
rtsp://administrator:[email protected]/USBCamera0
 
If there is another Axon between the MediaServerAxon and the USBCameraAxon/VideoSourceAxon. The name of this Axon should also be in the path.
The url will look like:
rtsp://administrator:[email protected]/USBCamera0.name_of_the_Axon

 

 

Notes

 

Gatekeeper 410, 1250 en Traffic:

In the Gatekeeper 410, 1250 and Traffic, the input stream of the MediaServerAxon can be best set equal to the output stream. Use the settings of the USBCameraAxon and the IDSAxon for the proper configuration.

 

X-series:
In the models of the X-Series product line, the configuration of the input- and output stream can be set to different encoding protocols.
