Multicast

The device can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. The
stream is either duplicated and then distributed to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast), or it is
sent as a single stream to the network, where it is simultaneously distributed to multiple
receivers in a defined group (Multicast).
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses UDP and the Internet
Group Management protocol (IGMP V2). The network must support group IP addresses. Other
group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast
connections.
A special IP address from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (class D address) must be configured
for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The multicast address can be the same
for multiple streams, however, it is necessary to use a different port in each case.
The settings must be made individually for each stream. Enter a dedicated multicast address
and port for each stream.
The video channels can be individually selected for each stream.
Enable
Enable simultaneous data reception on receivers that need to activate the multicast function.
To do this, check the box and enter the multicast address.
Multicast Address
Enter a valid multicast address to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data
stream in the network).
With a 0.0.0.0 setting, the encoder for the stream operates in multi-unicast mode (copying of
data stream in device). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to five
simultaneously connected receivers.
Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the CPU and can lead to impairment of the
image quality under certain circumstances.
Port
Enter the port address for the stream here.
Streaming
Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode. An activated stream is marked with a
check. (Streaming is typically not required for standard multicast operation.)
Metadata
You can enable multicast metadata here. The configuration follows the same pattern as for
video multicast, but without the streaming option.
Define a multicast address and define a port.
Audio
You can enable multicast audio for different encoders here. The configuration follows the
same pattern as for video multicast, but without the streaming option.
Define a multicast address and define a port for the different encoders.
