Multicast
If the receivers of the video streams are suitable for using ‘multicast’ and the video streams will all have the
same format, then it may be possible to use ‘multicast’. In this mode, the CODEC in the Illuminator HD chooses
a ‘new UDP address’ (Typically an address which is outside the normal range of addresses for the network to
which the Illuminator HD is connected) and sends a video stream to the ‘new UDP address’. Multiple receivers
can then access this single video stream. Consequently the bandwidth that is required by the Illuminator HD is
typically reduced to the single video stream.
When using ‘multicast’ all intermediate network-switches and routers must be set to allow the stream from the
‘new UDP address’ to be routed correctly.
Configuration
Use the below settings to set how the video is sent, adjusting the settings can help to eliminate any ‘stutter’ or
‘pulsing’ on the video image.
