Description
The number of hops (between routers) for which
transmitter packets are valid on the network.
transmitter packets are valid on the network.
The TOS (Type of Service) can be configured in the IP
header to establish packet priority in the network. See
IP Type of Service (TOS) defined under Announce
Settings.

Some network equipment requires that a Multicast source
(such as a VBrick encoder) join its own Multicast group.
This feature is enabled by default and has no adverse affect
on equipment that is fully Multicast-compliant.
This parameter is used to instruct the encoder to ping the
unicast destination periodically to test connectivity before
sending the stream. If Unicast Ping is not enabled, and the
destination goes offline, the unicast stream may be
broadcast to all destinations on the network, flooding the
network. Default = Enabled. This feature should only be
disabled if the network has a particular requirement that
makes it unworkable. This parameter is also used with
Auto Unicast Transmitter Mode to monitor a connection
with TCP keep alive so that a stream is restored in the
event of a failure.
If you change this setting on your Transmitter, please stop
and restart the Transmitter.
Specifies whether the Transport Stream carriage of
metadata is synchronous (default) or asynchronous.
• Synchronous – use MISB 0604 Section 6.2.
• Asynchronous – use MISB 0604 Section 6.1.
