Video Channel Assignments for IP Output
Each IP stream is limited to 19.4 Mbps.
• The PCS500R outputs IPv4 multicast streams. Ensure the institution's IP network and room receivers support
IPv4 multicast and that the network is capable of selectively routing multicast traffic. Refer to vendor
equipment documentation for further information.
• Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to incorporate the IP
output of the PCS500R. Ensure that up to 23 unused and unreserved IPv4 multicast addresses, within the
designated range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, are allocated for the PCS500R IP output.
The IP start channel is user-assigned in the Admin Client, and the remaining channel assignments are then
automatically incremented. For example, if the IP start channel assignment is 227.0.0.40, the remaining
channels will be 227.0.0.41, 227.0.0.42, etc. Since the first two streams are reserved for site data, the first
video content channel in this scenario will be 227.0.0.42.
• Reserve one User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for the multicast data streams. You can use the system
default (1234) or another unassigned port number, for example, 50000, 50001, etc. The port must avoid
conflict with other protocols in use.
Note: Refer to the IANA IPv4 Multicast Address Space Registry and/or the IANA Service Name and Transport
Protocol Port Number Registry for further IP address/port information as required.
