ENC-
300™ is capable to encode a video either as a unicast stream or a multicast stream. According to
the entered destination IP-address, the encoder will automatically recognize whether it should be a
unicast or multicast stream.
Figure 17
shows the ‘Encoder / Destination’ page of the ENC-300™ encoder.

Settings:
Description:
Stream Mode
Specifies the stream mode of the transmitted stream (see chapter 3.4.1)
Transport
Protocol:
Specifies the transport protocol. You can choose between:
UDP (= Connectionless protocol)
TCP/SERVER (= Connection-oriented protocol)
TCP/CLIENT (= Connection-oriented protocol)
RTP
RTP/FEC (only available, when FEC permission is enabled, see chapter
3.4.19 on page 48)
If you use
UDP
, you can send the input video to maximum five destinations as
multicast and/or unicast streams.
If you use
TCP
, your destination must also support the TCP protocol. Furthermore,
no multicast is supported when TCP is used. If you choose ‘TCP/SERVER’, your
destination must be the client. If you choose ‘TCP/CLIENT’, your destination must
be the server. For more information, please see chapter 4.3 on page 67.
RTP
is a packet-based protocol and is based on UDP. RTP supports multicast and
unicast streaming.
The
FEC
feature is an additionally option which must be purchased separately.
The ‘SYSTEM / SETTINGS’ webpage shows whether your encoder has the FEC
permission, see chapter 3.4.19 on page 48.

If network errors occur in your network, we recommend using the
TCP or RTP/FEC protocol.
