Packet size
The size of the data packets to be sent is set in „Packet size“. To optimize
the transmission times (delay) of the data packets, the packet size should
be set to 2,048 bytes.
The larger a packet’s size, the more time it can take until the packet is
„complete“ and ready for transmission. This can lead to a delay that
results in a „jumpy“ video stream.
The smaller the data packets are, the greater the network overhead.
Configuring the DIS as a client
In order to receive DIS video streams from a DIS configured as a server,
you will need to set your DIS to act as a client. To do this, click the Client
tab.
M o d e
Here you can set the mode with which the
transmitter (server) sends the data packets.
Currently, the DIS can receive only
MPEG multicast streams.
Multicast IP address and port
Enter the address and port of the DIS from which
you would like to receive the video streams.
As your DIS can be simultaneously configured as a server and a
client, you must ensure that your DIS’s multicast IP address for client
operation is not identical to that used for server operation. If the
same address is used, your DIS would receive its own
