Enable multicast streaming

NOTES: The VN-Matrix 325 supports IGMP V2 for multicast streaming.

The multicast streaming setting does NOT track across all four encoder

configuration pages (video, anc [ancillary, specifically audio], colfec [column

foward error correction], and rowfec [row forward error correction]). For most

applications, the same transport should be set for all stream elements, but this is not mandatory.

1. If necessary, click the Device tab to display the device page (see figure 19).

2.Click the video encoder icon that appears in the configuration box after

you have created a source in “Configure Encoders and Decoders“, step 3 (A in figure 21). The video encoder Configuration appears.

3.Click (select) the Multicast Enable check box (B in figure 21). The Multicast Group Address dialog box appears, providing a default multicast group address.

4.Change the multicast group address to the value required for the system in use (C in figure 21).

NOTE: Extron suggests modifying the group address so that the value of the last

octet of this address is the same as value of the last octet of the IP address of the device.

5.Click the OK button (D in figure 21).

6.Repeat step 2, substituting the anc (audio) port icon () for the video icon.

7.Repeat steps 3 through 5.

8.Repeat step 2, substituting the colfec port icon () for the video icon.

9.Repeat steps 3 through 5.

10.Repeat step 2, substituting the rowfec port icon () for the video icon.

11.Repeat steps 3 through 5.
