VBrick Systems VB4000, VB6000, VB5000 manual 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.
