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 support multicast connections.

A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network.

The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is 224.0.1.0 to 239.255.255.255.
