Multicasting configuration
Multicasting configuration
Multicasting allows multiple hosts on the same network to receive camera
image data. One host acts as master/controller, and the others act as monitor.
Most network hardware only supports multicasting at maximum packet size
1500.
[Windows]
Ensure camera packet size is 1500. No additional setup is required.
[Linux]
Multicasting only works if the application is run as root. Additionally, you may
have to add manually a route:
>
sudo route -n add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0
where,
eth0
is the adapter used for camera.
[OSX] (PvAPI only)
Multicasting is not supported on Mac OS X.
