Chapter 3:  SYSTEM SETTINGS (NX-100 SETUP PROGRAM)

6.4. Broadcast Spec Setting 

Step 1.

Click on the Broadcast Spec tab of the System Setting Tool.
The setting screen will be displayed. 

Step 2.

Select the usable bandwidth at Navigator.
Selection of the usable bandwidth automatically sets recommended values except those related to
Multicast. If no problems are foreseen, perform the setting as is, without changing this value.

Note

For bandwidth and multicast streaming, consult with on-site network management personnel.

Step 3.

Set each item while referring to the bandwidth and delay time indicated in the Information area
located at the bottom of the screen. 

Caution

Broadcasts are interrupted when the set bandwidth is displayed in red in the Information area. (The
bandwidth is indicated in red whenever this setting exceeds the per-stream usable bandwidth.)

(1) Sampling frequency [kHz]

Select a sampling frequency for both transmission and reception from [8], [16], and [32] kHz. Sound
quality improves with higher sampling frequencies, however this makes the usable bandwidth wider.

Caution

Local broadcasts are disabled if a transmission sampling frequency of [32] kHz is selected (refer to
broadcasting direction in 

"the Broadcast Pattern Setting" on p. 3-20

).
