4.7.7 Multicast Settings

Note the Multicast function is only supported on the four-channel GV-Compact DVR V3 and
only works on a single stream. You can enable either Multicast or RTSP; the two protocols
cannot function at the same time.
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 hosts on a local network.
STATE: Enable the Multicast function.
HOST NAME: Name the GV-Compact DVR V3 in a multicast group.
INFO UPDATE PERIOD: Enter the time length between each update of multicast
streams.
DATA IP: Enter the IP address used for multicasting. The default IP address is 224.1.1.2.
DATA PORT: Enter the port used for multicasting. The default value is 8300.
MULTICAST VIDEO: Select the camera to send its video through multicasting.
MULTICAST AUDIO: Select the audio to send its audio through multicasting.
ENCRYPTION KEY: Enter an Encryption Key to secure multicast streams. The hosts in
the multicast group will need to enter the Key to access the video and audio streams.
AUDIO CALLBACK: Enable this option to receive audio broadcasting from the hosts in
the multicast group. Specify the IP address and port number to receive the audio
broadcast. The default IP address is 224.1.1.3 and port number is 8400.
