Blinker - UDPv4 Sender

The UDPv4 sender module sends a stream using UDP version 4 across a network. It supports the static and dynamic variants of the BLP, EBLP and MCUF protocols.

Configuration

The configuration of the UDPv4 senderr module with name NAME is located in the udp4senders/NAME subdirectory.

Input Stream

The file instream contains the name of the stream to read. The frames received from this stream are sent over the network.

Bind Address

The file bind contains the local address to bind to. It must contain the IP address and the port, i.e. a string <IP>:<port> (hostnames are not supported). If the local address should be determined automatically, the file can contain 0.0.0.0:0.

Static Destinations

Static destinations to supply with a network stream in BLP, EBLP or MCUF protocol can be configured in the subdirectories blp, eblp and mcuf respectively. Each static destination is configured in an own subdirectory. E.g. the configurations for static MCUF destinations with name local resides in the subdirectory mcuf/local.

The configuration inside a static destination consists of the following settings:

Destination address

The file addr contains the destination address as a string <IP>:<port> (hostnames are not supported).
