5.3.15 Multicast

Note this function is only available on the four-channel GV-Compact DVR V3.
The Multicast view allows the GV-Compact DVR V3 receiving video and audio streams from a
multicast group. It also enables the unit to receive audio broadcast from the hosts in the
multicast group.
To join a multicast group and listen to audio broadcasting, it is required to activate the related
settings in 6.7.5 Mulitcast.
1. The host(s), in the multicast group, is displayed automatically on the host list. If you cannot
see any host displayed, click the Configure button, select General Setup, select Multicast
and ensure the relevant IP address, port number and network card are correctly configured.
2. Expand the Host folder and drag the desired cameras to the screen for display. If the host
has already set a password, you will be promoted to enter it at this step.
3. To receive audio broadcasting, first ensure a speaker is properly installed on the local
computer. Then click the Configure button, select General Setup, select Receive
broadcast audio, and ensure the broadcast IP address and port number are correctly
configured.
4. To save the current settings of screen division and camera display for future use, click the
Configure button, select Video List Setup, and select Export. You can also select Import
to apply the pre-defined settings.
