Advanced dialog) this dialog only allows setting the sample size and will insure that the sample rate and latency portion of this variable will be in agreement with the value of modeRateControl. Typically the sample size will be the same for all channels in a bundle so the All Same option can be checked to assign the same value to all channels.

•SubCount

This variable can be used to limit the number of channels that will be transmitted in the bundle. The default value is equal to 8 but can be set to any value from 0 to 8 in order to minimize bandwidth utilization when desired.

•UnicastMode

This value can be used to override or modify the normal unicast versus multicast implications of the assigned bundle number. The normal default value is Never Multicast. The available options are:

•Always Multicast

All bundles are sent multicast regardless of Bundle number.

•Multicast over 1

If more than one receiver is set to receive this bundle, it will be multicast, else it will be unicast.

•Multicast over 2

If more than two receivers are set to receive this bundle, then it will be multicast, else it will be unicast or multi-unicast.

•Multicast over 3

If more than three receivers are set to receive this bundle, then it will be multicast, else it will be unicast or multi-unicast.

•Multicast over 4

If more than four receivers are set to receive this bundle, then it will be multicast, else it will be unicast or multi-unicast.

•Never Multicast

Only a single bundle will be sent unicast.

•MaxUnicast

This value can be set to limit the number of multi-unicast bundles sent by this transmitter. The default for this value is 1 with allowed values of 1 through 4.

•Green

Indicates audio is being received and properly decoded.

•Black

Indicates no audio is being received on this channel.
