Multicast Ip Addressing For Multiple Studiostation 100 Installations - Extron electronics StudioStation 100 User Manual

Multicast IP Addressing for Multiple StudioStation 100 Installations
When multiple StudioStation 100 devices are installed in a system (when the
multicast address is used for Push or Pull streaming) the streams are managed by the
StudioStation 100 to avoid conflicts.
Pull streaming (RTSP)
The StudioStation 100 can use one of two multicast streaming IP address assignment
methods.
If multicast IP addresses for a network are limited, the StudioStation 100 devices can use
unassigned port numbers within the available range (1024 to 65436).
NOTE: To prevent conflicts, always check to see if other devices using the same IP
address have already used a port number before using it in the StudioStation 100.
The following table shows a typical port assignment for multiple StudioStation 100 devices
using a single multicast IP address (RTSP pull streams require four sequential ports).
Device
StudioStation 1
StudioStation 2
StudioStation 3
When there are different multicast IP addresses available, there is no need for multiple port
numbers and the port number can remain at the default (
Device
StudioStation 1
StudioStation 2
StudioStation 3
NOTE: The StudioStation 100 automatically inserts the ending port number when the
initial port number is entered.
Push streaming (TS/UDP, TS/RTP, ES/RTP)
Push streams to a multicast address generally require only two ports, except for ES/RTP
which requires four. When Push streaming from multiple StudioStation 100 devices to
multicast addresses, the same IP address rules apply as with Pull streaming.
For Push streaming, the destination IP and port number are adjusted using the encoder
presets page.
