Having selected the desired services, we next configure the multicast data. To do this, still within the Output
Streams menu, we click on the second tab on the bar: Multicast Assignment. This configuration screen pre-
sents us with two working methods.
Automatic allocation of addresses
We must enter a Multicast Base Address in the field of that name, and a port in the field marked Port. Ha-
ving done this, we click the Auto button. This automatically allocates a multicast address to each of the servi-
ces we selected previously, beginning with the base address we entered first and increasing each
subsequent address number by 1 until each service has a multicast address. The port configured will be the
same for all the services.
Manual allocation of addresses
Alternatively, we can assign a multicast address and a different port for each service manually.
In our example, we shall use the automatic method, with the following data:
En este caso usaremos el método automático con los siguientes datos:
Multicast Base Address: 230.40.50.60 Port: 1234
Differential Service: AF33 - Highest Priority
Stream Payload Format: UDP TTL: 1
