VIP X1 | Installation and Operating Manual Multicasting EN | 89 In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (unicast), the VIP X1 can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and then distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a single data stream to the network, where the data stream is simultaneously distributed to multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast). For each encoder (video input) you can enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. You can switch between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs. Note Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the UDP and the Internet Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections. A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However it will be necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously using the same port and multicast address. Multicast address video 1: Enter a valid multicast address for each stream to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data streams in the network).

Multicasting
In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (uni-
cast), the VIP X1 can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal simul-
taneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and then distrib-
utes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a single data stream to the
network, where the data stream is simultaneously distributed to multiple receiv-
ers in a defined group (Multicast). For each encoder (video input) you can enter
a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. You can switch
between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.
Note
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the
UDP and the Internet Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group
management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not sup-
port multicast connections.
A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast opera-
tion in a multicast-enabled network.
The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Manage-
ment Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is from 225.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255.
The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However it will be
necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are
not sent simultaneously using the same port and multicast address.
