5.4.3
Multicasts — Streams
In this view the operator can define multicasts available to the Extractor and associate a name with each
multicast address. This name will be used by the Extractor when referring to the multicast. If no name
has been defined the Extractor will use the multicast address:port notation.
It is possible to add or delete several entries simultaneously. The current dialogue values will be used as
the template with the values for Name and Address incremented for each.
Note that both multicast and unicast addresses can be entered here.
The search field in the upper right corner of the view allows the user to type a text string, and the multicast
list is updated to display only streams matching the specified text.
