  1. Select a Group
    If Sources have not yet been added to your Group, you will also see the Getting Started message.
    Click the “+” green circle to add a new Source system to the Group. See “Adding a Source to Streaming Service” instructions below.

Adding a Source to Streaming Service

Sources are PCs on your network that have a SubC Stream enabled desktop application installed, such as SubC DVR+O / SCI / RCS, SubC Stream, and SubC Blackbox desktop applications.

In the SubC Streaming Service web application, click the green “+” button to generate an Activation code.

This code is used to add a system running a stream enabled SubC desktop application to the current SubC Streaming Service Group.

The following “Link to Group” window will appear displaying the current Group (i.e., “SubC Development”)

  1. Copy the Activation Code

  2. Open your Stream enabled desktop application on your PC.

  3. Paste the code in to the Activate prompt window.

  4. Once the Activation code is applied to Stream enabled desktop application, refresh the Streaming Service Web application page, you will then see are able to remotely interact with the PC running the Stream enabled desktop application.

See FAQ: Activate a New PC in SubC Stream.

Remote Control Stream Enabled Desktop Systems

SubC Stream enabled desktop applications currently running on system(s) that are activated in your Group will be visible and configurable in the SubC Streaming Service web application through both the Classic UI and the new GPS MAP UI.

GPS Map Layout & Classic Layout

QUALITY Menu

Transmission Type: RealTime

RealTime streaming is useful when you need very low latency video (such as for piloting a craft).

Typically, this type of stream has sub-second latency but minimizing latency means no buffering.

Frames are delivered and displayed as soon as they become available. The lack of buffering may result in the video being jumpy on slower networks.

  • Encoder: vp9 | gpu_h264 | h264

    • vp9 - Default; vp9 is a higher compression codecs, allowing for better quality images at a lower bitrate/bandwidth requirement; Stream at 1bit/sec; requires higher CPU resources

    • gpu_h264 - Is a lower compression codecs; Streams at higher bitrate/bandwidth requirement; Stream at 4bit/sec; requires less CPU resources as the performance is video-card based.

    • h264 - Is similar to gpu_h264 in all aspects, except it utilizes the CPU resources; Select h264 if your system video card does not support gpu_h264 but you wish to use lower compression/stream at a high bitrate/bandwidth.

  • BitRate (Kbps) - Default = 256

    • Selection Range: 16-512.

  • Resolution - Default = Auto

    • Selection Range: 1920x1080, 1280x720, 720x480, 320x240.

  • Framerate (fps) - Default = Auto

    • Selection Range: 5, 15, 20, 29.97, 30.

Transmission Type: Smooth

  • SRT Sender Latency:
    Low | Medium | High

These settings allow you to adapt to variations in your Network quality.

You can select Low = 1s, Medium = 3s, High = 5s whichever best suits your current Network conditions.

  • If you have optimal Network conditions, low dropouts, less buffering required, select Low for 1 second of buffering.

  • If you need more buffering, select Medium for 3 seconds or High for 5 seconds.

  • Encoder

    • Default is mpeg4 when Transmission type Smooth has been selected

    • Options vp9, gpu_h264 or h264 are available when Transmission type RealTime has been selected.

  • Bit Rate (kbps) - Options are 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16

  • Resolution - Options are Auto, 1920x1080, 1280x720, 720x480, 320x240

  • Framerate - Options are Auto, 30, 29.97, 20, 15, 5

  • SRT Sender Latency: Low | Medium | High selection only appears when Transmission Type Smooth is selected.

PRESENTATION Menu

  • Presentation - Select a Presentation from this list.
    The Presentation(s) that have been created for this Group will appear in the list.

    • Depending on the features selected when the Presentation is created, a green checkmark or red x will appear to the right of each potential feature: Video | Data | Audio Rooms | One-Time

    • See Presentations section for how to create Presentations.

  • Streaming Location - Select a SubC Stream Server from the list.

You can select any of these SubC Stream Servers, however generally it is best to select a Stream Server nearest to your geographical location.
