IP Mulcast is an ecient way of delivering ACCESS digital audio streams to mulple locaons. This involves relying on
the network to distribute the stream to the locaons that require it, rather than creang an independent stream for each
user.
IP Mulcast requires the use of an IP Mulcast-capable network. The commercial Internet, with few excepons, is not
capable of supporng IP Mulcast. Some private LANs and WANs are IP Mulcast-capable.
IP Mulcast supports only a single direcon stream. An IP Mulcast encoder cannot receive input streams.
In this manual, we assume that IP Mulcast users will be familiar with the basic concepts of setup and operaon of the
network, so we will focus on how to congure ACCESS for Mulcast mode.

To set any remotes to Mulcast, you must rst create a prole for either a Mulcast Sender or a Mulcast Receiver on
the menu.
When you dene a new prole, you have the opon to choose  as the prole type. Mulcast proles have
fewer opons than other prole types, and some of the available opons will have no eect.
