Device IP Address Subnet Mask Device 1 208.132.180.41 255.255.255.0 Device 2 192.157.180.42 255.255.255.0 Device 3 208.132.180.41 255.255.255.0 Assuming the IP address for device 1 is valid, the IP address for device 2 is invalid because the network identifier for each address must begin with 208.132.180.xxx.

    Multicast IP Addressing for Multiple SMP 111 Installations When multiple SMP 111 devices are installed in a system (when the multicast address is used for push or pull streaming), the streams are managed by the SMP 111 to avoid conflicts. Pull streaming (RTSP) The SMP 111 can use one of two multicast streaming IP address assignment methods.

  • Page 113: Estimating Storage Requirements For A Recording

    Estimating Storage Requirements for a Recording Estimating Storage per Recording Hour You need to know video and audio bit rates configured in your Extron SMP 111. For these examples, the calculations assume that the bit rates remain constant during the recording. If you are using VBR (variable bit rate, which is the default) then the actual bit rates are often slightly lower than this estimate.

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) — A standardized compression and encoding scheme for lossy (low quality) digital audio. Higher bit rates provide higher quality. Part of the MPEG‑2 and MPEG‑4 specifications.

CBR is useful for streaming multimedia content on data communication channels which operate more efficiently or require the bit rate to remain within a tight tolerance.

  • Page 121 Multicast — A network technology for the delivery of information to a group of destinations simultaneously. A single stream is sent from the source to a group of devices at the same time in one transmission. Delivery is managed by network switches using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the network only once, and creating copies only when the links to the group of destinations split.
