Setting Up The Statistical Multiplexing Pools - Cisco D9054 Installation And Operation Manual

Setting Up the Statistical Multiplexing Pools

To Set Up the Statistical Multiplexing Pools
Proceed as follows to set up the Statistical Multiplexing Pools:
1. From the user interface of the D9054 HD Encoder click the Video tab, expand
the H.264 icon, expand the Statistical Multiplexing icon and click the Pools icon
from the sub-pages.
2. The messages/communication sent between encoders are sent over the Ethernet
interface using UDP multicast. Each statmux group or pool uses an unique
multicast address and port. The range of addresses is from 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255. Enter the UDP multicast IP address assigned to the statmux
pool. Each encoder on the network is configured to listen to only messages from
its assigned statmux group multicast address and port.
3. Enter the TTL (Time to Live). This number identifies the number of routers IP
packets can travel through before they are dropped. The range is from 0 to 255.
The default is 128.
4. Enter the Pool number that the encoder belongs to in the range from 1 to 20.
Each pool is defined as a statmux group. All encoders in the same pool share a
fixed bit rate, determined by the sum of the default bit rates.
5. Click Apply.
6. Go to Setting Up the H.264 Video Encoding Rate, page 5-18 to set the Video
Rate Mode to Statistical Multiplexing.
