Unicast RTP connections can be established by CENTAURI’s of type 300x, 330x, 400x, MERKII and GANYMED’s 1102 using system software version 2.0.0.132 (or later).
| • | RTP (=Realtime Transport Protocol) protocol bases on UDP (= User Datagram Protocol). Therefore the RTP implementation of  is an enhancement of the UDP implementation. In opposite to the pure UDP implementation RTP guarantees the right sequence of packets at the receiver side. |
| • | RTP supports the following features: - payload-type identification - sequence numbering - time stamping - source identification |
| • | RTP is implemented according to rfc 3550 (www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3550.txt). |
If possible RTP is the recommended IP-transmission method between 
.
1. Unidirectional RTP connections
Unidirectional IP connections between two can established by the following steps:
1.1 Codec Settings
Configure the codec settings via menu item Settings/Codec (valid for both ):
| • | Interface: IP |
| • | Encoder dependency: Remote |
| • | Decoder dependency: Remote |
The establishing determines the algorithm, the sample rate, the bit rate and the mode of the transmission.
1.2 Establish Connection
Click the CONNECT button to open the Connect-dialog:
| • | Select interface to IP |
| • | Select RTP |
| • | Type in the IP-address of the other codec in the address field |
| • | Click the OK-button to establish connection |
2. Bidirectional RTP connections
There are two ways to establish a bidirectional RTP connection:
| • | Establish a unidirectional RTP connection on both |
| • | Use a special codec configuration on the establishing |
2.1 Special configuration on establishing MAYAH codec
Configure the codec settings via menu item Settings/Codec:
| • | Encoder dependency: remote |
| • | Decoder dependency: local |
2.2 Special configuration on non-establishing MAYAH codec
Configure the codec settings via menu item Settings/Codec:
| • | Encoder dependency: remote |
| • | Decoder dependency: remote |
Note:
At such bidirectional RTP connections different settings for sending and receiving can be used. The encoder settings determine which quality is sent whereas the decoder settings determine which quality is received.
Note 2:
In opposite to bidirectional UDP connections bidirectional RTP connections can be disconnected by one side (i.e. the establishing side) provided they were established by one side.
