MULTICAST SETTINGS
Session multicasting allows you to broadcast your session using the multicasting networking
transport technology, which allows users to send a video stream that can be received by
multiple recipients, all listening on a single multicast address. Multicasting a session from your
COLLABORATE® Live 600 allows numerous passive viewers to view the session. This is
typically used at lectures, or any session that passive viewers can benefit from. Multicast
sessions can be viewed by all ClearOne endpoints and the Apple QuickTime viewer.
The Multicast Settings window allows you to define how multicast sessions are initiated by
COLLABORATE® Live 600.
