The log provided suggests that backend neither close connection
nor send anything. I suspect it's waiting for another request
from the client before sending additional data, but didn't get it
due to buffering in nginx. You may try adding

proxy_buffering off;

to see if it helps.

On the other hand, the following link:

http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/icefloe/dispatch028.html

suggests that rtsp over http uses POST requests with some
arbitrary large Content-Length. It's likely to be next problem
you'll encounter. And this is not going to work through nginx.
