MultIstreaMIng arrangeMents
The following includes two examples of
Multistream
arrangements involving the BRIC-Link. In the first
environment, the BRIC-Link that is serving the Multistream initiates calls, and in the second, the serving BRIC-Link
accepts all of the incoming connections.
BrIC-lInk InItIates the Call
In the “Multistreamer as caller” model, two different profiles will be built on BRIC-Link A. The first profile, labelled
“Multi-Duplex”, will be defined as a standard, duplex BRIC-Link connection. The encoder to be used will be selected
in the
Local Encoder
section, and the stream desired in return will be defined in the
Remote Encoder
section.
The second profile is called “Multi-Simplex” and in this profile the
Remote Transmitter
is turned
Off
. Most other
selections in this profile are irrelevant. User A will define remote connections for BRIC-Link B, C, and D. They will
assign the “Multi-Duplex” profile to BRIC-Link B, and “Multi-Simplex” profile to the others. They will then establish
a connection with BRIC-Link B first, followed by C and D.
BrIC-lInk reCeIves the Call
In model number 2 where the serving BRIC-Link accepts all incoming connections, all the profiles are built on the
Remote Receivers
. BRIC-Link B will use a simple profile by defining the encoders in each direction, and assign it to
BRIC-Link A. BRIC-Link C and D will each define a profile with their
Local Encoders
turned
Off
, and assign them to
A. BRIC-Link B should connect first. When C and D connect, they will hear the same stream as B, regardless of how
their
Remote Encoders
are set in their profiles.
In a
Multistream
environment, the first man wins. For example, the first connection made between units will
determine the encoders used for all others. After the first full-duplex connection is made, all other attempts at
full-duplex connections to either end will be rejected.
usIng CrOsslOCk wIth MultIstreaM COnneCtIOns
CrossLock functionality in Multistreaming has been introduced with BRIC-Link. Previous Comrex BRIC-Links did not
support CrossLock VPN when performing a
Multistream
. With the introduction of BRIC-Link, the added broadcast
reliability of CrossLock brings increased connection stability in Multistreaming environments.
