Multicast
You can configure the QDX 6000 system to allow users to stream audio and
video from one to many viewers. Viewers watch the conference from the
system's web interface. You can start streaming only when QDX 6000 is in a call.
Points to note about streaming:
•
To send a stream across a subnet, multicasting must be enabled on the
network or you can unicast to a particular IP address, which will forward
the stream to that IP address.
•
The number of viewers is limited only by your network topology.
To configure the QDX system for a streaming call:
1
Go to
System > Admin Settings > Network > IP > Multicast
.
