9.3.4.3 Using multicast streaming TV
It is not always physically possible for an iCOMPEL to receive a TV broadcast signal directly. An alternative is to deliver TV
signals as a set of Multicast streams using the local network.
Note: Using Multicast TV requires an additional feature unlock key.
How Streaming Works
A Streaming Transmit Servers converts analog or digital TV signals to Multicast IP packets. The iCOMPEL is able to
receive and decode an IP multicast stream (it can function as a streaming Client), and can place the TV image into a Zone
on the iCOMPEL's output along with other information in other Zones.
All the routers and switches on the local network between the Streaming Transmit Server and each Streaming Client
iCOMPEL must support Multicast streaming. The network itself must also have sufficient capacity to allow Multicast
streaming.
Note: There may be copyright issues involved in re-broadcasting material onto a local network.

The Settings tab allows you to add, remove and modify the multicast addresses used to receive the TV streams. The
