IP MULTICAST
NOTE: This section deals with advanced topics relating to ACCESS capabilities.
IP Multicast is an efficient way of delivering ACCESS digital audio streams to multiple locations. This involves relying
on the network to distribute the stream to the locations that require it, rather than creating an independent stream
for each user.
IP Multicast requires the use of an IP Multicast-capable network. The commercial internet, with few exceptions, is
not capable of supporting IP Multicast. Some private LANs and WANs are IP Multicast-capable.
IP Multicast supports only a single direction stream. An IP Multicast encoder cannot receive input streams.
In this manual, we assume that IP Multicast users will be familiar with the basic concepts of setup and operation of
the network, so we will focus on how to configure ACCESS for Multicast mode.
MULTICAST ProfILeS
To set any remotes to Multicast, you must first create a profile for either a Multicast Sender or a Multicast Receiver
on the
Manage Profiles
tab.
When you define a new profile, you have the option to choose Multicast as the profile type. Multicast profiles have
fewer options than other profile types, and some of the available options will have no effect.
