administrative uses. ImmediaTV recommends the use of UDP ports 1024 and higher.
The MVN-XC440, however, will accept any legal value.
Reception:
selects the address to receive from. The options are:
o
Unicast:
the packets are being sent to the IP address of this Ethernet port. The
address of the Ethernet port can be set or reviewed in the Network Tab.
o
Multicast:
the packets are being sent to a Class-D multicast address (between
224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255). If this option is selected, a new field is
displayed to accept the multicast address:
The MVN-XC440 will warn the user if the address entered in this field is not a
multicast address. The device includes a full implementation of IGMP V1/V2/V3
to convey group membership information to upstream routers; IGMP is
configured in the Network Tab.
o
Broadcast:
the packets are being sent to a broadcast address (either the all-hosts
broadcast address of 255.255.255.255 or a subnet broadcast address). Note that
this is extremely rare in practice.
Source:
If desired, the MVN-XC440 can filter packets by source IP address. This is
useful when the network includes a primary and a backup stream, sent to the same
address, but from different sources. The options are:
o
Any Address:
this input will accept packets from any address.
o
Specific Address:
this input will only accept packets from a given specific
address. When this option is selected, a new field appears where the desired
source IP address can be entered:
Unicast/Broadcast
Multicast
Unicast/Broadcast
Multicast
The
Source Address
must be a valid unicast address. In case of Multicast
reception, the MVN-XC440 will go into SSM (Source-Specific Multicast) mode.
If IGMP V3 is in use, the card will use it to inform the network of the choice
selection. Note that the MVN-XC440 does
not
require an IGMP V3 network to
operate in SSM mode, as it can filter packets in real-time at line rate.
The IP Input Ports will automatically detect the use of RTP, in a packet-by-packet basis. The
MVN-XC440 will only accept RTP version 2 packets satisfying the following conditions:
