Announce Settings
This section contains parameters that are used to modify announcements from the appliance.
Announcements are advertisement packets that are transmitted by VBrick appliances to other
VBrick appliances and VBrick applications such as the EtherneTV Portal Server and
StreamPlayer. They are used to identify streams present in the network.
Destination Select IP Address or Host Name from the dropdown.
The actual IP address determines whether the stream
will be multicast (e.g. 239.22.118.72) or unicast (e.g.
127.22.118.72). Default = 127.0.0.1 (loopback).
If using a Host Name, you must configure a Domain
Name Server on the System Configuration > Network
page.
Transport Type • RTP – Default. Realtime transport protocol provides
end-to-end network transport functions suitable for
video.
• Transport Stream – Multiplexes the digital video and
audio into one bit stream.
Destination Video Port Destination video port for this transmitter. Note that
viewing a unicast and multicast stream (configured on
different transmitters) on the same PC or the same
decoder may not work if the transmitter ports are the
same.
Destination Audio Port Destination audio port for this transmitter.
Estimated Bit Rate Read-only. This is an estimate. The actual bit rate will
vary based on the content.
RTCP Transmit Enable allows RTCP sender reports to be sent from the
VBrick appliance. Default = Enable.
RTCP Transmit Interval If RTCP Transmit is enabled, this setting tells the
appliance how often (in seconds) to send the reports.
Default = 10 seconds.
