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 |
| 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. |
