# Multicast streaming using RTP/UDP

*Applies to: Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, Pearl Nano, Pearl Nexus.*

You configure an RTP/UDP (push) stream on Pearl device using the Admin panel.

If you're streaming to 10/100 Mbps set-top boxes over Gigabit Ethernet and you notice frames are dropping, you can limit the bandwidth of the stream.

- Audio port number through which the audio will stream.

-  Video port number through which the video will stream.
