I Cautions about the Network Environment

GX System is IP network-based. Creating a reliable network is the key to a successful system. Please note that the
encoder device sends a multicast stream (9.2 Mbps max. X 4 streams). Obtain confirmation from the network admin-
istrator that this bandwidth usage will not cause a network failure.
MPEG2 Encoder (WJ-GXE900) and MPEG2 Decoder (WJ-GXD900) support the NTSC model only.
