Data Transport Methods
Source data from a VN-MATRIX Encoder can be distributed to multiple displays/encoders (one-to-
many) or to a single display/decoder (point-to-point).
Video data is transported from the source (encoder) to the display (decoder) using one of three
methods:
Multicast RTP
Unicast RTP
Unicast TCP
A description of each method, together with its advantages and disadvantages, can be found on the
next few pages.
