This pop-up box enables the streaming of Video from either one of the two external Ethernet
ports or from the internal encoder (if it is fitted). Enabling one of the two Ethernet ports
allows a stream on an external network connected to the NETNode Ethernet ports to pass
into the Mesh network. Enabling the Encoder tick box allows the internal MPEG encoder (if
fitted in the NETNode as option NETNode-AVI-UP) to stream over the Mesh network.
Here‟s how to configure it:
1. Click the Source Mask Set… button
2. The Streamer Source Mask dialog will open
3. Place a check mark in the check box that is the source to stream down the link.
4. Click OK
In our example we are planning to stream from the composite camera connected to the
encoder.
Here are all the possible connections involved:

Eth0 and Eth1 will be from a network connected to the NETNode. Encoder is ONLY valid
IF the NETNode has the AVI-UP Option (internal AV Encoder) fitted.
5.2.2.3. Destination Mask
You can choose which NETNodes will receive the stream. Your NETNode could have up to
eight NETNodes attached to it via the mesh. Streaming to all nodes is an inefficient use of
mesh capacity and so you need to be able to restrict the multicast to specific nodes.
This pop up box allows the user to specify precisely which nodes need to receive the stream.
Streaming to all nodes may be an inefficient use of MESH IP capacity and so the user may
wish to restrict the multicast to specific nodes.
Note: Please note after hitting the OK box on the source or destination mask, the main
Apply Bottom must be pressed to action the command.
