Introduction:
Scope:
This guide provides a reference for configuring your network switch to work with the
Octava PRO DSX HDMI Over IP Matrix System.
This configuration guide is based on the DLINK DGS1210-28P
In this guide we will configure the network switch so some of the advanced features are
enabled:
Jumbo frame
: jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload.
Multicast Video
: Multicast as compared to Unicast is a more efficient method of delivering
video to multiple clients. Multicasting requires only 1 “channel/group” to be transmitted
regardless of number of clients that will subscribe to the “channel/group”. Unicast would
require 1 stream for each client , thus would increase the bandwidth requirement by N(
number of clients).
IGMP ( internet group management protocol):
IGMP Querying/Snooping, optimizes
network loading by ensuring that Multicast traffic is only forwarded to ports that are
members of that Multicast group.
