Web Streaming Add/Modify settings

These settings are optional on GV STRATUS systems.

To locate these settings, click Core | Proxy Config | Web Streaming | Add or Modify

Setting or button	Description
Hostname	The name of the proxy streaming server to be used by GV STRATUS Web Clients in your system.
Port	Specifies the port number for the proxy streaming server. These ports are supported as below: 8001 — This port is used for a specialized service for the transport of proxy streaming requests by the Proxy Streaming Gateway Service. By default, the service opens port 8001 for HTTP traffic. If the base port number is configured, this will be used as the HTTP port number. 8002 — This port is used for a secure service for the transport of proxy streaming requests. The service must be configured with valid SSL certificates for browsers to successfully make use of WSS. By default, the service opens the port number incrementally after the HTTP port (e.g. if the HTTP port is 8001, the HTTPS port will be 8002). Except if the HTTP port is set to 80, the standard HTTPS will use port 443. Note: The proxy streaming server uses WebRTC, which is a peer-to-peer protocol via UDP using any ports that are negotiated. There are no fixed ports but by default, port 8001 is used for HTTP and port 8002 is used for HTTPS traffic.

Description

Hostname

The name of the proxy streaming server to be used by GV STRATUS Web Clients in your system.

Port

Specifies the port number for the proxy streaming server. These ports are supported as below:

8001 — This port is used for a specialized service for the transport of proxy streaming requests by the Proxy Streaming Gateway Service. By default, the service opens port 8001 for HTTP traffic. If the base port number is configured, this will be used as the HTTP port number.
8002 — This port is used for a secure service for the transport of proxy streaming requests. The service must be configured with valid SSL certificates for browsers to successfully make use of WSS. By default, the service opens the port number incrementally after the HTTP port (e.g. if the HTTP port is 8001, the HTTPS port will be 8002). Except if the HTTP port is set to 80, the standard HTTPS will use port 443.

Note: The proxy streaming server uses WebRTC, which is a peer-to-peer protocol via UDP using any ports that are negotiated. There are no fixed ports but by default, port 8001 is used for HTTP and port 8002 is used for HTTPS traffic.

You can also control the UDP port range of the proxy streaming server via the registry settings. On the machine(s) on which the proxy streaming service is running, add the following in the registry.

Key : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Grass Valley\Proxy Streaming Gateway
Name : UdpPortRange
Type : String
Value : Enter the port range

Example: If the value data were set to “10000-11000”; this will limit the proxy streaming server to use UDP ports 10000 – 11000, which you can then allow via your firewall rules. The range has to be large enough to support multiple simultaneous connections, and also work around any other services that might be using random UDP ports.
