Basic Operation
Unicast Mode
The term
unicast
is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from an encoder to a single decoder.
Although it is common to have multiple encoder and decoder units within a system, it may also be desirable to
restrict a single encoder to communicate with one decoder. In
unicast
mode, OmniStream encoders and decoders
function similar to an n x 1 switcher. Changing the destination IP address at the encoder, will direct the stream to be
received by a different decoder.
The illustration below shows three encoders and three decoders on a network, operating in
unicast
mode. The red
lines indicate the data paths from each encoder to a separate (single) decoder.

NOTE:
By default, both encoders and decoders are shipped in multicast mode.
1.
