RTI | Miravue VIP-1 Manual
In
Multicast Transmit Mode
the VIP-1 delivers the video stream from each video source to multiple displays.
This is useful in larger systems that require more than four displays to view a source.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Caution must be taken in Multicast Mode, each video stream is delivered to every device
on the entire network, not just the display viewing it. This allows more displays to view a source, however, this
mode can “flood” the network with unwanted data, causing network performance to suffer. Therefore,
multicast mode is only recommended when a network switch with “IGMP Snooping with Query” is used, and a
VLAN or a separate network is used. IGMP Snooping with Query allows only the desired video stream to be sent
to the corresponding VIP-1, reducing network traffic and minimizing the risk of flooding a network with
unwanted packets.
3 Sources > 6 TVs
3 Video Streams
(45Mbps)
In
Multicast Mode
, the number of sources determines the
network bandwidth. However, each video stream is
delivered to every device on the entire network, not just
the display viewing it.
See Important Note above
In this example, three sources viewed by six displays
generates three video streams:
1 Video Stream = 15Mbps
3 Streams = 45Mbps of Network Bandwidth
