Enable multicast streaming
NOTES:
•
The VN-Matrix 325 supports IGMP V2 for multicast streaming.
•
The multicast streaming setting does
NOT
track across all four encoder
configuration pages (video, anc [ancillary, specifically audio], colfec [column
foward error correction], and rowfec [row forward error correction]). For most
applications, the same transport should be set for all stream elements, but this
is not mandatory.

Extron suggests modifying the group address so that the value of the last
octet of this address is the same as value of the last octet of the IP address
of the device.
