DIRECT STREAMING & REPEATER SERVERS
Each unit has a built-in 1 Gigabit streaming server capable of handling up to 400+ connections depending on the
bitrate you have set. Should you need to do a wider distribution or handle more connections over the Internet,
you can always point the stream / receive the stream over one or multiple internet servers such as YouTube or
similar, to receive / repeat / redistribute your stream/s to millions of people which their servers will handle the
traffic and you are just providing the video stream.
You also may just stream directly to the internet to hundreds of players at the same time (limit depends from
the selected bitrate and the available bandwidth from your internet service provider) there is no need for any
additional hardware but it is suggested to run a Multicast IGMP enabled switch if running multiple units to help
handle the traffic more efficiently
INSTALLING MULTIPLE UNITS
To install multiple units on the same network, make sure to CHANGE the IP address of each Module BEFORE you
connect them to the same network, so there will be no IP Conflicts. By default we do this for you before testing
and shipment of the unit with multiple modules preinstalled. To change the IP address of each module, point
your web browser to the IP address of the unit (default is 192.168.1.168 for module 1) Login to the unit, click
NETWORK on the bottom, change the NETWORK SETTINGS as needed by your application. As example, the
default for a 16 channel Unit, the IP addresses are set as
Module 1 = 192.168.1.168
Module 2 = 192.168.1.169
Module 3 = 192.168.1.170
Module 4 = 192.168.1.171
Write down these values, or put a sticker on each unit with the new assigned IP address so it will be easy to
login to the unit in future without the need to reset it. Depending on your setup it’s suggested to use a Multicast
IGMP enabled switch to help with the traffic.
