Windows Media Encoder Multicast -- Slot1

Click here to play	Click to trigger Windows Media Player to initiate streaming via
multicast	multicast. Right-click and select Save Target As to save the .asx and
	send to others for viewing. This is a good way to view the stream when
	adjusting various encoder parameters via the IWS.
Select Multicast	Select from the configured video rates or choose None to multicast
Video Rate	audio only. Default = Video Rate1.
Select Multicast	Select from the configured audio rates or choose None to multicast
Audio Rate	video only. Default = Audio Rate1.
Closed Caption	Controls whether or not script data is included in the multicast. Script
and Metadata	data includes Closed Caption data and/or user Meta Data depending
	on what is enabled on the video configuration page.
Multicast URL	Use this URL in a player or browser (or on a web page with an
	embedded player) to view the stream via multicast.
Transmit	Controls whether the encoded video and audio is to be transmitted to
	the network via multicast.
Multicast	This is the destination IP Address of the encoded video. By default the
destination IP	IP Address is set to 127.0.0.1 (the localhost address) which disables
Address	multicast transmission. The multicast address must be a Class D IP
	address.
Destination Port	Sets the UDP video destination port.
Time To Live	The number of hops (between routers) for which an IP packet is valid
	on the network.
Type Of Service	The TOS (Type of Service) can be configured in the IP header to
	establish packet priority in the network.
Join Own Multicast	Some network equipment requires that a Multicast source (such as a
	VBrick encoder) join its own Multicast group. This feature is enabled
	by default and has no adverse affect on equipment that is fully
	Multicast-compliant.
Maximum Packet	The Windows Media packet size is automatically set to the smallest
Size	possible value based on various parameter settings. The audio Bit Rate
	and Sample Frequency (see Audio Template Settings) are the primary
	factors controlling packet size. Lower audio Bit Rates and Sample
	Frequencies will generally result in smaller packet sizes. If you change
	this setting, click Refresh to see the re-calculated packet size.
Estimated Total Bit	Reports the calculated estimated maximum bit rate for the multicast
Rate	stream including network overhead. Click Refresh when you change
	settings. It may take a few moments before new values are displayed.
