Destination Address

Destination Address

Allows the user to specify how the destination address will be

Mode

configured: IP Address, Host Name, or IPv6.

 

• IP Address – This is the Destination IP Address of the encoded

 

video. When this is a multicast address, the transmit mode is also

 

set to multicast. Similarly, if this is a unicast address, the transmit

 

mode is also set to unicast.

 

• Host Name – Sets the source for video to be received using

 

Host Name of the source. It can be used only for a unicast

 

source.

 

• IPv6 – Use Internet Protocol Version 6. This next generation

 

version of the Internet Protocol includes improved address

 

space, quality of service, and security features in support of

 

unicast transmissions only.

 

 

Destination Port

This is the destination IP port of the network device that will be

 

receiving the encoded video.

 

 

Transmit Mode

This read-only parameter (derived from the Destination IP

 

Address) tells you whether the encoder is transmitting the video

 

stream in Unicast or Multicast mode. In Unicast mode, if the

 

network portion of the IP address is outside the scope of the local

 

area network, the Unicast address is presumed to be outside the

 

network.

 

 

Video Time to Live

The number of hops (between routers) for which an IP packet is

 

valid on the network.

 

 

Video Type of

The TOS (Type of Service) can be configured in the IP header to

Service

establish packet priority in the network.

 

 

Unicast Poll

This parameter is used to instruct the VBrick to poll whether the

 

unicast destination VBrick is configured to accept this stream. If the

 

unicast destination VBrick is not configured to accept this stream,

 

this VBrick will not send the stream. This feature is designed to

 

eliminate unwanted unicast video traffic across the network.

 

 

Packet Payload Size

Controls the amount of MPEG data within each UDP packet. The

 

default value is 4136. Since Ethernet networks are limited to a

 

packet size of 1500 bytes, multiple IP packets are required to span

 

one UDP packet. When choosing a packet payload size, special

 

attention must be paid to the network capability and topology. The

 

allowed range is 1316 to 8872 bytes per packet, even numbers only.

 

The VBrick will not produce fragmented transport packets at or

 

below a payload size of 1472.
