# live555ProxyServer(1)

RTSP/RTP proxy server

## NAME

live555ProxyServer - RTSP/RTP proxy server

## SYNOPSIS

live555ProxyServer \[options\] \<url\>...

## DESCRIPTION

The "LIVE555 Proxy Server" is a unicast RTSP server that acts as a 'proxy' for one or more 'back-end' unicast or multicast RTSP/RTP streams (i.e., served by other server(s)).

The key feature of a proxy server is that it reads each 'back-end' stream only once, regardless of how many separate clients are streaming from the proxy server. This makes the proxy server ideal, for example, for streaming from a RTSP-enabled video camera (which might not be able to handle more than one connection at a time).
