[Live-devel] H264 RTP Payload format

The camera should produce a SDP description that describes (among 
other things) the RTP payload format code used by the stream.  Does 
the camera have a built-in RTSP server?  If so, you don't need to 
worry about this; the RTSP protocol (and our software) will take care 
of this automatically (just provide the "rtsp://" URL to the client).

If your camera doesn't use RTSP, then it probably streams using 
multicast, and the multicast address, port, and RTP payload format 
code should be part of a SDP description which the camera should 
produce.
