VIP X1/VIP X2 | Installation and Operating Manual
Multicast address video 1 / Multicast address video 2:
Enter a valid multicast address for each stream from the relevant encoder (video
input) 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 unit). The VIP X supports multi-unicast
connections for up to five simultaneously connected receivers.
Note
Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the CPU and can lead to
impairment of the image quality under certain circumstances.
Port:
If there are simultaneous data streams at the same multicast address, you must
assign different ports to each data stream.
Enter the port address for the relevant stream here.
Streaming:
Click in the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for the relevant
stream. An activated stream is marked with a check.
Multicast audio port 1 / Multicast audio port 2: (audio versions only)
As well as video data, the audio versions can also send and receive audio
signals. The audio signals are sent in a separate data stream parallel to the
video data, and so increase the network load. The audio data are encoded
according to G.711 and require an additional bandwidth of approx. 80 kBit/s per
direction.
If you wish to transmit audio signals in multicast mode you must assign them a
dedicated port as this is a separate data stream. Enter the port address of the
required stream here.
Note
Audio signals are only transmitted if the audio function is activated (see
page 61) in the Audio settings configuration screen.
Multicast packet TTL:
A value can be entered to specify how long the multicast data packets are active
on the network. If multicast is to be run via a router the value must be greater
than 1.
