• You cannot create two external servers with the same Server type, IP, Port, and
Application Name. This is because the RealPresence Capture Server system
does not allow publishing two streams to the same publish point to avoid
overwriting the first stream by the second one.
• External latency time will be introduced when external media server configured,
compared with live streaming from Capture Server, the exact time varies
depending on streaming protocol.
