With the help of the test signals, it is possible to test a transmission system, check for stability, or determine properties.
Various signals, such as “Game Of Live” are available as an option with S23/B3 rule for test operation. FPS and size can be adjusted depending on the signal.

Frame rate refers to the number of frames captured or played back per period and is specified in units of FPS (Frames Per Second), BpS (Frames / Frames per Second), or Hz (Hertz). Default value is in 25 / 30 / 50 / 60 FPS.
A resolution that corresponds to a display device's resolution (number of pixels) is called native resolution. The Restreamer works best with 16:9 resolutions.
After a successful check, more details and the encoding settings can be shown.
Send and receive video signals from a network on the LAN or WAN.
Fetch or receive data? There are two different variants to choose from as a mode: Push or Pull. The respective setting influences the further menu navigation.
You can select between > SRT > RTMP or > HLS.
Enter this address in the sending device from the video signal.
Pressing the button verifies the reception of the video signal.
At this point, the address of the server can be customized. The address supports HTTP, HTTPS (HLS, DASH), RTP, RTSP, RTMP, and SRT.
If required, the access data of the video source can be entered here.
Read input at native speed
Force input frame rate
This option sets the maximum number of packets in the queue when read from the file or device. For low latency/high rate live streams, packages may be discarded if they are not read in time; setting this value may force FFmpeg to use a separate input thread and read packets as they arrive. The default value is 512.
Default value is: genpts
discardcorrput -> Discard damaged frames
fastseek -> Enable fast but inaccurate searches for some formats.
genpts -> Generate the timestamp of the video
igndts -> Ignore decoding of the timestamp
ignidx -> Ignore index
nobuffer -> Reduce latency caused by optional buffering
nofillin -> Do not fill in missing values that can be calculated exactly
noparse -> Disable AVParsers, that needs filling too
sortdts -> Try to interleave the output packets by decoding the timestamp
After starting the test process, the active video stream can be selected.
Passthrough (copy) option takes the unedited video stream.
Passthrough (copy) option takes the unedited video stream.
H.264 (libx264) starts a video encoding with the free and open-source software library.
There are different types of camera boards for the Raspberry Pi. The official Raspberry Pi cameras can take high-resolution photos and Full HD 1080p videos and be fully controlled programmatically. After installing the "raspi-config" menu, all cameras can be used in the Restreamer for livestreaming.
Send and receive video signals from USB devices.
The "USB Video Class" (UVC) includes devices that transmit video over USB and groups them into a specific class of USB devices. These include webcams, camcorders, transcoders, and devices that convert analog tapes to a digital format. These types of video sources are displayed as video sources in the datarhei Restreamer's graphical user interface and are active for live streaming with a few simple steps.
Use as screen capture monitor
Works - but is only used for native installations and is not officially supported by us yet. But don't worry, this will be added very soon.
