Multicast Reception - Address
To receive a multicast (UDP/RTP/SMPTE2022) stream, place the multicast address wished to
view in the ‘Address’ field. This address must match the same address used on the
multicast transmitter. Multicast IP address ranges are 224.xxx.xxx.xxx to 239.xxx.xxx.xxx,
where 0 <= xxx <= 255. If you are new to multicast and attempting a first time connection,
226.0.1.1 is a common address to start with. Please verify transmitter address
configuration.
Optionally, the source specific multicast address (The actual IP address of the sending
device) may be entered for IGMPv3 applications. Configuring the Source Address will allow
multicasts to be received from the entered address and entered address only. This
configuration is non-functional for Unicasts. For IGMPv2 applications the source address can
be set to 0.0.0.0.
Unicast Reception - Address
To receive a unicast (TCP/UDP/RTP/SMPTE2022) stream, enter 0.0.0.0 in the ‘Address’ field.
The unit will be ‘listening’ for any streams sent directly to it. Refer to your IP transmitter
documentation for proper configuration of the transmitter.
