Type the password that the RADIUS server uses for identifying the device.

Select the port. Off disables the RTSP function. The default port is 554.

In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (unicast), the device 

enables multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an encoder simultaneously.

The prerequisite for multicast operation is a multicast-capable network that uses the UDP and 

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 is 

then necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are not sent 

simultaneously using the same port and the same multicast address.

Note: The settings must be done for each encoder (video input) and for each stream 

individually. The numbering follows the labeling of the video inputs on the device.

To enable simultaneous data reception on several receivers you need to activate the multicast 

function. To do this, check the box. You can then enter the multicast address. 

Enter a valid multicast address for each stream from the relevant encoder (video input) to be 

operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data streams in the network). 

With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the relevant stream operates in multi-unicast mode 

(copying of data streams in the device). The device supports multi-unicast connections for up 

to five simultaneously connected receivers. 

Note: Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the device and can lead to impairment of 

the image quality under certain circumstances.

Assign a different port to each data stream if there are simultaneous data streams at the same 

multicast address.

Enter the port address of the required stream here.

Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for the relevant stream. An enabled 

stream is indicated by a check mark.

For normal multicast operation, streaming is typically not required.

Enter a value to specify how long the multicast data packets are active on the network. If 

multicast is to be run via a router, the value must be greater than 1.
