The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However, it will be
necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are
not sent simultaneously using the same port and multicast address.
Note
The settings must be made individually for each video input and, on
Dual Streaming compatible units, for each stream. The numbering is the
same as the labeling of the video inputs on the rear panel of the unit.
Multicast address video 1 to Multicast address video 8:
Enter a valid multicast address for each stream from the relevant encoder to be
operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data streams in the network).
With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the relevant stream operates in multi-uni-
cast mode (copying of data streams in the unit). The unit supports multi-unicast
connections for up to five simultaneously connected receivers.
Note
Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the unit and can lead to im-
pairment of the image quality under certain circumstances.
Multicast port 1 to Multicast port 8:
Assign a different port to each data stream if there are simultaneous data
streams at the same multicast address.
Enter the port address of the required stream here.
Streaming:
Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for the relevant stream.
The selected check boxes are marked with a tick.
Multicast packet TTL:
You can enter a value to specify how long the multicast data packets are active
on the network. This value must be greater than one if multicast is to be run via
a router.
Multicast address audio: (audio versions only)
For special applications, you can enter a separate multicast address for the
audio data stream.
