IMGP IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used to receive
multicast streams from a network. The latest version of this protocol
(version 3) supports Source Specific Multicast (SSM). In an SSM-
enabled environment, multiple streams can be sent to the same
multicast address. Decoders can distinguish between streams based on
their source IP address. This option is available only on Windows XP
machines and is supported for 232.x.x.x address space. When this
option is on, StreamPlayer can playback 232.x.x.x. streams that are
coming in on the same multicast address.
Notes (1) Windows 98 does not support Closed Captioning Overlay. (2) If using Windows
XP, it is recommended that Service Pack 1 or higher is installed. (3) MPEG-2
Closed Captioning Overlay does not function on two simultaneous players on the
same PC.
Columns
The default is for Program Name only to be displayed in the
Program Info area. To view other available information, select the
Custom Columns Tab. Other possible selections include IP
Address, Port, Source IP, etc. Use the
Column
buttons on the
Settings Box to add or remove columns. The display order can be
changed using the
Sort By
buttons.
Filters
Filters can be used to narrow the selections from the available
fields. If the word "Unit" is entered, only VBricks with the word
"Unit" in the Program Info field will appear. If "239" is entered in
IP address, only those VBricks with "239" in the IP address field
will appear. The
Filters
field is not case sensitive. It can also
search for a partial name. For example entering "Science" in the
program name field displays programs with names “SCIENCE”
and "ScienceClass." Also, multiple search entries can be input by
separation with a semi-colon. For example, entering "sales;HR"
will display programs"company sales" and "company HR".
