Pushed Streams
The DME also pushes live streams to a configured destination. The destination may be a single endpoint in the case of a unicast, or multiple endpoints in the case of multicast. The transmitter does not directly depend on a client to initiate the streaming but is always transmitting (in the case of multicast) and transmits if the client is reachable and listening (in the case of unicast). The streams are transmitted across the network via RTP, RTMP, or Transport Stream. Note that RTMP is a unicast‑only protocol.
