[Elphel-support] rtsp server

Thu Feb 3 19:51:39 PST 2011

Adam,

Can you try

mplayer rtsp://192.168.0.9 -vo null

and/or reduce image size so it will be smaller than the monitor screen.

Also - is it just a basic camera or the one with the 10359 multiplexer
board?

Andrey

Here is how the output looks when everything is working:
