Unicast vs. Multicast Transmit Modes
In
Unicast Transmit Mode
is generally recommended and is useful for small networks or for wireless video
distribution. In this mode, the VIP-1 delivers a separate video stream from a source to each display (displays do
not share video streams). If a source is not being viewed, there is no stream on the network for that source.
NOTE:
In Unicast Mode, the maximum simultaneous streams from a single video source is four. If more than
four simultaneous connections to a single video source are required, multicast mode should be used.

(90Mbps)
In
Unicast Mode
, the number of displays (wired to
VIP-1s) viewing a video source determines the
bandwidth.
In this example, three sources viewed by six
displays generates six video streams.
1 Video Stream = 15Mbps
6 Streams = 90Mbps of Network Bandwidth
