Playlist Broadcaster

Version 3.1

Broadcast to a multicast address

Broadcasting to a multicast address is similar to broadcast to a unicast

address. All you need to do is to replace your unicast address with the

multicast address you want to broadcast to.

You can then:

• relay the multicast stream using a streaming server by setting the

multicast address as a source,

• if you do not use SDP broadcast or SAP, you should distribute the

SDP file to allow clients to connect directly to the multicast stream by

opening it.

NOTE In this case, only the Playlist Broadcaster needs to be running.

• use the server as a reflector (see “Using 4Sight as a reflector” on

page 40 for further details).
