This device is a single-channel HDMI low latency LAN encoder and WAN streamer that employs H.264 encoding and AC3 or MPEG1 audio encoding. It can function as a one-channel HDMI, CVBS, or SDI IP streaming device, making it suitable for use in UDP/RTP multicast over LAN applications, as well as for streaming over the public internet WAN using HLS, HTTP, and RTMP protocols.
Designed for ease of use and simple setup, this 1RU chassis is optimized for streaming MPEG4 video directly to popular websites such as YouTube and Facebook for streaming applications. With its low latency and minimal bit rate, this device can efficiently stream up to 1080p through Thor Broadcast's latest multi-channel encoder, which supports the protocols most commonly required by social media platforms
With support for up to 1080/60P full HD resolution, this device delivers high-quality video output, making it an excellent choice for professional streaming applications. Whether you're streaming content over LAN or WAN, the SPARTAN-1 is a reliable and versatile IP streaming solution

For UDP multicast video streams, the GOP structure is important to balance bandwidth efficiency and error resilience. Since UDP does not guarantee packet delivery, a careful GOP setup can help mitigate quality issues if packets are lost.
For multicast scenarios, particularly in cases where packet loss is common, reducing the GOP length and being conservative with B-frames can help ensure the stream remains watchable even when some data is lost. You might start with something like:
This will provide a balance between efficiency and robustness in the network. You can adjust these settings depending on the quality of your network and the content type.
Are you trying to troubleshoot a specific issue or just optimizing the setup?
For RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol), the GOP settings can be a bit more flexible than UDP multicast because RTSP typically uses TCP for control messages and can recover from packet loss (especially if RTSP is paired with RTP over TCP or adaptive buffering techniques). However, network conditions and latency are still important factors to consider, especially for live streaming.
Are you using RTSP for live streaming or VOD? Adjusting based on the scenario can help a lot!
