Configuring the Sender Chapter 6
76 VideoJet 10
Multicast address MPEG-4 encoder 1 (2):
Enter a valid multicast address for each encoder (stream), so that it will work in
multicast mode (duplication of the data streams in the network)
When the multicast address is set to 0.0.0.0, the respective encoder (stream)
operates in multi-unicast mode (copies the data streams on the unit). The
VideoJet 10 supports Multi-Unicast connections for up to 5 receivers
simultaneously.
Note
Duplication of the data on the unit for multi-unicast connections requires
considerable processor power and, under certain circumstances, leads to
limitations in the picture quality.
Port:
In the case of simultaneous data streams with the same multicast address the
data streams must be assigned to different ports.
Enter the port address for the particular stream here.
Multicast audio port (G.711):
If audio is to be transmitted in multicast mode, too, the audio data must be
assigned to another port as it is a separate data stream.
Enter the port address for the audio stream here.
Note
A separate audio stream is only transmitted if the corresponding function on
the Audio stream page is enabled (see page 45).
Multicast packet TTL:
This value determines the "life span" of multicast packets on the network. If
multicast is operated via a router, the value must be greater than 1 to ensure that
the packets are passed on.
