Stream content using multicast
11. Enter a multicast IP address in the
SAP announcement IP
field. If your media player is configured to
receive multicast streams from an IP address that is different from the default address 224.2.127.254,
you may need to contact your system administrator for a specific multicast IP address.
12. Enter a channel number in the
Channel number
field to identify your stream in the media player. By
default the Channel number is the channel identifier.
When a channel number value is not specified, viewers cannot select a channel from the
set-top box or Smart TV .
13. Enter a name for a group of streams in the text box next to
Group name
. Since media players simply
present a list of available streams, you can organize your streams into multiple folders or in cases where
folders are not displayed, use dot separator hierarchy to help your viewers filter out unwanted streams
by category.

15. Click the

rtp://@226.10.24.32:7000

box or Smart TV, refer to
