KDS-100 Series – KDS-100EN: Using the Embedded Web Pages

Streaming:

Multicast settings and time to live

Multicast communication transmits the data stream to multiple receivers simultaneously, forming a multicast group.

STREAM 2 is only active if you selected Dual streaming in the Dashboard pane.

• Multicast Prefix – Select a prefix for the multicast stream’s IP between 224 and 239 and click Save (prefix as in 224.x.x.x). Routers identify multicast streams by the IP address to which the stream is directed. IP prefixes can be used to identify the stream’s packets as data which is not directed to a specific recipient, but a general stream addressed to the entire network.

• Multicast ports (non-editable) can be used to make it easier for routers, servers and clients to separate and handle the stream data.

• Time To Live (TTL) restricts the number of times a packet/data can be forwarded by network routers before it is discarded. It stops the stream data from circulating endlessly in the network. Select a value between 1 and 255 (and click Save).

• Bandwidth is the maximum amount of multicast bandwidth that a single multicast stream can use. It is set in Encoding > Advanced preferences.

Network configurations need to be properly set up to enable multicast communication.

Click Save after setting a Multicast Prefix or Time to Live limit.

• GOP size – Sizes are from 1 to 1,000. GOP (group of pictures) encoded streams group pictures together and then transmit the differences. The GOP size is the gap between every transmitted full picture.

• B frames – From 0 to 4. Bidirectional predicted pictures save space by using differences

between the current frame and both the preceding and following frames to build pictures.

• Slices per frame – From 1 to 22 (32 on STREAM 2). To speed up video encoding each frame can be divided into sections (slices) which are encoded in parallel.

• IDR frequency – Minimum (-1). IDR (instantaneous decoder refresh) frames are frames that clear all saved reference frames.
