About network streaming
When equipped with a mezzanine, the ICMP (-X) can receive and play streaming content (multicast live

LAN (local area network) connected to one of Ethernet ports of the ICMP (LAN1/LAN2) or Cinema Controller.
For more details concerning playout of Live IP streaming content please refer to the Web Commander user

clips dedicated to the alternative media inputs or Live IP streaming content).
