Note: Without using the VIA software, media files can be played from your device
using native media players you have installed such as QuickTime and/or Windows
Media Player. However, if you choose this method and do not use VIA for video
playback, your video is only mirrored to the display. Using this method, you may
experience lower frame rates, inconsistent playback and increased latency,
depending on your laptop system performances.

Multimedia - Streaming Player: RTSP Streaming Through VLC
The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol designed
for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media
servers. The protocol establishes and controls media sessions between end points.
Clients of media servers issue commands like play and pause, to facilitate real-time
control of playback of media files from the server.
VIA GO supports RTSP. A media played locally on a computer can be streamed on
VIA GO, provided the computer and VIA GO are on connected networks.
For RTSP Streaming using VLC Media Player:
1. Open VLC Media Player.
