Setting of the Multicast
IP Address
Multicast IP addresses are assigned to the streams. IGMP-capable switch-
es recognize the addresses automatically and, if configured accordingly,
route the streams only on request to end devices. This greatly reduces
network traffic.
—> IP addresses in the range 224.0.0.0-239.255.255.255 are mul-
ticast addresses, but many addresses in this range are reserved
(www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses).
—>
Use the 239.x.y.z range!
It is suitable for streaming TV content and
must also be used for Panasonic Viera TVs.
For x use only the range of 1…127.
The range 0 ... 255 is available for y and z.
