This section describes the additional configuration steps required for some OTN units to work
in Omnicast.
Configuring MVIDIPv4 units
Due to specific OTN MVIDIPv4 unit behavior, proper reception and decoding of the MPEG-4
video stream requires extra configuration to work in Omnicast. This configuration is done using
the Registry Editor.
Disable IGMPv3 support
Because MVIDIPv4 units use a different IP address than the control channel, video streams are
filtered out of potential multicast sources by the IGMPv3 protocol. For proper reception of
MVIDIPv4 video streams, you must disable the IGMPv3 advanced setting on the Directory and
Archiver Server machines.
