The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However, it will be necessary to
use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously
using the same port and multicast address.
NOTICE!
The settings must be made individually for each stream.
Enable
To enable simultaneous data reception on several receivers you need to activate the multicast
function. To do this, check the box. You can then enter the multicast address.
Multicast Address
Enter a valid multicast address for each stream to be operated in multicast mode (duplication
of the data streams in the network).
With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the relevant stream operates in multi-unicast mode
(copying of data streams in the unit). The encoder supports multi-unicast connections for up
to five simultaneously connected receivers.
NOTICE!
Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the unit and can lead to impairment of the
image quality under certain circumstances.
Port
Assign a different port to each data stream if there are simultaneous data streams at the same
multicast address.
Enter the port address of the required stream here.
Streaming
Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for the relevant stream. An enabled
stream is indicated by a check mark. The device even streams multicast data if there is no
active connection.
Streaming is typically not required for standard multicast operation.
Multicast packet TTL
You can enter a value to specify how long the multicast data packets are active on the
network. This value must be greater than one if multicast is to be run via a router.
