DEVOS 

 

How To Distribute Live Video using IP Multicast 

IP Multicast is a one-to-many routing technology supported by sophisticated 
networks.  It is not well supported by most WiFi implementations, and DEVOS uses 
conventional unicast for the reliable delivery of video. 
 
For sophisticated networks and where a very large live viewing audience is needed 
(e.g. 20,000+ live viewers), DEVOS supports IP Multicast very easily.  Simply follow 
these steps. 
 

 

Navigate to Advanced Options and select Push Stream 

 

For the Push Destination, enter: mpegtsudp://[multicast IP]:[port].  For 
example to send video to multicast address 239.1.2.3 on port 4444, enter 
mpegtsudp://239.1.2.3:4444 

 

Leave the Push Stream Name blank 

 

For the Stream, select the live stream you wish to use 

 

Select Create Push 

 
Whenever the live stream from Streamsie or Mantis is available, it will now also be 
sent via multicast to the selected address. 
 
Discover Video offers a unique browser-capable multicast technology that does not 
requires a brower plug-in but does require a simple user install.  Contact Discover 
Video for more information. 
 
 
Note:  sending a multicast on a network that is not configured to accept it can lead to 
packet port flooding. At lower video streaming bit rates, this may be acceptable, but it is 
not a desired behavior of a network. You may select any multicast address that is not 
already in use, from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.253 

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address) 

 

DO NOT USE MULTICAST FOR DEVOS CLOUD OR FOR INTERNET
