Turbine Video Settings

To modify the video settings on the station models TCIV-2, TCIV-3 or TCIV-6, log on to the station web interface and select:

• Advanced AlphaCom > Video (AlphaCom mode), or
• SIP Configuration > Video Setting (SIP/Pulse mode)

Video mode

The Video Mode parameter defines whether the video stream will be MJPG in http or H.264 in RTP.

• When the TCIV station is used in SIP or Pulse mode, you can choose to use either H.264 or MJPEG.
• When the TCIV station is used in AlphaCom mode, the station uses video mode MJPEG.

In MJPEG the url to stream video is: http://<IP address of the camera>:8090/mjpg/video.mjpg
Example: http://10.5.101.49:8090/mjpg/video.mjpg

The TCIV is by default using port 8090 for video. The port number is configurable.
