6.7.5 Multicast

Note the Multicast function is only available for the four-channel GV-Compact DVR V3.
The multicast provides a mechanism for sending a single video and audio stream to a group
of hosts. Only the hosts that have joined a multicast group can send and receive the multicast
streams. The multicast streams are only sent to the groups of hosts on a local network.

a multicast group. The other is to allow the GV-Compact DVR V3 to receive audio
broadcasting from other hosts in a multicast group.
