Multicasting
In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (uni-
cast), the unit can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an
encoder simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and
then distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a single data
stream to the network, where the data stream is simultaneously distributed to
multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast). For each of the eight encoders,
you can enter a separate multicast address and the relevant port for each
stream.
For Dual Streaming compatible units, you can toggle between the streams by
clicking the appropriate tab pages.
Note
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the
UDP and the Internet Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group
management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not sup-
port multicast connections.
A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast opera-
tion in a multicast-enabled network.
The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Manage-
ment Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is 224.0.1.0 to 239.255.255.255.
