Getting Started  
Install and wire the AutoDome according to the VG5 AutoDome Installation Manual. A typical  
system includes an ethernet connection, a video management system, a monitor, and  
appropriate wiring connections. Please refer to the individual product manuals for complete  
installation and setup instructions for each of the system components.  
1.1  
Powering On  
When you turn the AutoDome power on there is a ten (10) second pause before the dome  
starts its homing phase. During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and tilts up  
and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire homing phase lasts approximately 40  
seconds and ends with a firmware version screen.

Using the AutoDome 700 Series  
The AutoDome 700 Series transmits PTZ control commands and images over a TCP/IP  
network. It also allows users to configure the camera display settings, camera operating  
settings, and to configure the network parameters.  
The AutoDome 700 Series incorporates a network video server in the IP module. The primary  
function of the server is to encode video and control data for transmission over a TCP/IP  
network. With its H.264 encoding, it is ideally suited for IP communication and for remote  
access to digital video recorders and multiplexers. The use of existing networks means that  
integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily. Video  
images from a single camera can be simultaneously received on several receivers.  
2.1  
Overview of Features  
The AutoDome 700 Series includes the following functionality:  
Function  
Description  
Video Encoding  
The camera uses the H.264 compression standards and ensures that the  
data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be  
adapted to local conditions within wide limits.  
Streaming  
Encodes multiple data streams simultaneously according to individually  
customized profiles. This feature creates data streams that can serve  
different purposes. For example, one (1) data stream for recording and  
one (1) data stream optimized for transmission over the Local Area  
Network (LAN).  
Multicast  
Enables simultaneous, real-time transmission to multiple receivers. The  
network must implement the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols as a  
prerequisite for Multicasting.  
Configuration  
Allows configuration for all camera settings from a Web browser on the  
local network (Intranet) or on the Internet. You can also update the  
firmware, load device configurations, store configuration settings, and  
copy these settings from one camera to another.  
Snapshots  
Record  
Allows you to take and store individual video frames as JPEG images from  
the Web browser interface.  
Allows configuration for the recording options of the IP module. You can  
record video from the Livepage to a hard drive.  
2.2  
System Requirements  
The AutoDome 700 Series requires specific software and hardware to allow a user to view live  
images and to configure camera settings over a TCP/IP network. These requirements are:  
A computer with the Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 operating system,  
network access, and the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser version 7.0 or later, or  
A computer with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 operating system, network  
access, and reception software such as the Bosch Video Management System or the  
Bosch Video Client, or

4.1  
Basic Mode: Device Access  
Device name  
You can give the AutoDome 700 Series a name to make it easier to identify. The name makes  
the task of administering multiple units in larger video monitoring systems easier, for example  
using the Bosch Video Management System programs.  
The device name is used for the remote identification of a unit, in the event of an alarm for  
example. For this reason, enter a name that makes it as easy as possible to quickly identify the  
location.  
CAUTION!  
Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name.  
Special characters are not supported by the system's internal recording management and may  
therefore result in the Player or Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.  
Password  
An AutoDome 700 Series is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access  
to the unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access.  
The AutoDome 700 Series operates with three authorization levels: service, user and live.  
The highest authorization level is service. After entering the correct password, you can access  
all the functions of the AutoDome 700 Series and change all configuration settings.  
With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and also control cameras, for  
example, but you cannot change the configuration.  
The lowest authorization level is live. It can only be used to view the live video image and  
switch between the different live image displays.  
You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as  
service or if the unit is not password protected.  
Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here.  
NOTICE!  
Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also  
protected with a password. If a live password is assigned, for example, a service and a user  
password must also be set. When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start  
from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.  
Confirm password  
In each case, enter the new password a second time to eliminate typing mistakes.  
NOTICE!  
A new password is only saved when you click the Set button. You should therefore click the  
Set button immediately after entering and confirming a password.  
4.2  
Basic Mode: Date/Time  
Device date/Device time/Device time zone  
If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is important to  
synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only possible to identify and correctly  
evaluate simultaneous recordings when all units are operating on the same time. If necessary,  
you can synchronize the unit with your computer's system settings.  
Click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system time to the AutoDome 700  
Series.

DHCP  
If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you  
can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the AutoDome 700 Series.  
Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System, Archive Player, Configuration  
Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these  
applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and  
MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is  
retained each time the system is rebooted.  
IP address  
Enter the desired IP address for the AutoDome 700 Series in this field. The IP address must  
be valid for the network.  
Subnet mask  
Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.  
Gateway address  
If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet, enter  
the IP address of the gateway here. Otherwise leave the box blank (0.0.0.0).

You can change individual parameter values of a profile and you can also change the name.  
You can switch between profiles by clicking the appropriate tabs.  
CAUTION!  
The profiles are rather complex. They include a large number of parameters that interact with  
one another, so it is generally best to use the default profiles.  
Change the profiles only once you are fully familiar with all the configuration options.  
In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for alarm connections and automatic  
connections. Bear this fact in mind when assigning the profile.  
NOTICE!  
All parameters combine to make up a profile and are dependent on one another. If you enter a  
setting that is outside the permitted range for a particular parameter, the nearest permitted  
value will be substituted when the settings are saved.

Profile name  
You can enter a new name for the profile here. The name is then displayed in the list of  
available profiles in the Profile name field.  
Target data rate  
You can limit the data rate for the AutoDome 700 Series to optimize utilization of the  
bandwidth in your network. The target data rate should be set according to the desired  
picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion.  
For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent movements, this  
limit can be temporarily exceeded up to the value you enter in the Maximum data rate field.  
Maximum data rate  
This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending on the video  
quality settings for the I- and P-frames, this fact can result in individual images being skipped.  
The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the Target data  
rate field. If the value entered here is too low, it will automatically be adjusted.  
Video resolution  
Here you can select the desired resolution for the video image. The following resolutions are  
available for standard definition settings only:  
CIF  
352 × 288/240 pixels  
4CIF/D1  
704 × 576/480 pixels  
Encoding Interval  
The figure selected here determines the interval at which images are encoded and  
transmitted. The image rate in ips (images per second) is displayed next to the text field.  
Use the slide bar to select a frame rate from 30.00 ips to 1 ips.  
Expert Settings  
Use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality and the P-frame quality to specific  
requirements, if necessary. The setting is based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).  
GOP Structure  
Select the structure you require for the Group of Pictures here. Depending on whether you  
place greater priority on having the lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using as little  
bandwidth possible, you can choose between IP, IBP, and IBBP.  
I-frame Distance  
This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be coded. 0 means  
auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames as necessary. An entry of 1 indicates  
that I-frames are continuously generated. An entry of 2 indicates that only every second image  
is an I-frame, and 3 only every third image etc.; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.  
I-frame Quality  
This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the I-frames. The basic setting Auto  
automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video quality. Alternatively,  
you can use the slide control to set a value between 9and51. The value 9 represents the best  
image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the  
maximum data rate. A value of 51 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

Audio  
You can set the gain of the audio signals to suit your specific requirements. The current video  
image is shown in the small window next to the slide controls to help you check the audio  
source and improve assignments. Your changes are effective immediately.  
If you connect via Web browser, you must activate the audio transmission on the Livepage  
Functions page (see Section 2.5 The Livepage, page 10). For other connections, the  
transmission depends on the audio settings of the respective system.  
Audio  
The audio signals are sent in a separate data stream parallel to the video data, and so increase  
the network load. The audio data are encoded according to G.711 and require an additional  
bandwidth of approx. 80 kbps for each connection. If you do not want any audio data to be  
transmitted, select Off.  
Line In  
You can set the line input gain. Make sure that the display does not go beyond the green zone  
during modulation.  
Record Format  
Select a format for audio recording. The default value is G.711. Select L16 if you want better  
audio quality with higher sampling rates. This requires approx. eight times the G.711  
bandwidth.

Alarm Connections  
You can select how the AutoDome 700 Series responds to an alarm. In the event of an alarm,  
the unit can automatically connect to a pre-defined IP address. You can enter up to ten IP  
addresses to which the AutoDome 700 Series will connect in sequence in the event of an  
alarm, until a connection is made.  
Connect on alarm  
Select On so that the AutoDome 700 Series automatically connects to a predefined IP address  
in the event of an alarm.  
By setting Follows input 1 the unit maintains the connection that has been automatically  
established for as long as an alarm exists on alarm input 1.  
NOTICE!  
In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for alarm connections. Bear this fact in mind  
when assigning the profile (see Section 4.19 Encoder Profile, page 28).  
Number of destination IP address  
Specify the numbers of the IP addresses to be contacted in the event of an alarm. The unit  
contacts the remote stations one after the other in the numbered sequence until a connection  
is made.  
Destination IP address  
For each number, enter the corresponding IP address for the desired remote station.  
Destination password  
If the remote station is password protected, enter the password here.  
In this page, you can save a maximum of ten destination IP addresses and hence up to ten  
passwords for connecting to remote stations. If connections to more than ten remote stations  
are to be possible, for example when initiating connections via higher-ranking systems such as  
VIDOS or Bosch Video Management System, you can store a general password here. The  
AutoDome 700 Series can use this general password to connect to all remote stations  
protected with the same password. In this case, proceed as follows:  
1. Select 10 from the Number of destination IP address list field.  
2. Enter the address 0.0.0.0 in the Destination IP address field.  
3. Enter your chosen password in the Destination password field.  
4. Define this password as the user password for all remote stations to which a connection  
is to be possible.  
NOTICE!  
If you enter the destination IP address 0.0.0.0 for destination 10, this address will no longer  
be used for the tenth attempt at automatic connection in the event of an alarm. The parameter  
is then used only to save the general password.

Video transmission  
If the unit is operated behind a firewall, TCP (HTTP port) should be selected as the transfer  
protocol. For use in a local network, select UDP.  
CAUTION!  
Please note that in some circumstances, a larger bandwidth must be available on the network  
for additional video images in the event of an alarm, in case Multicast operation is not  
possible. To enable Multicast operation, select the UDP option for the Video transmission  
parameter here and on the Network page (see Page 52).  
Remote port  
Depending on the network configuration, select a browser port here. The ports for HTTPS  
connections will be available only if the On option is selected in the SSL encryption  
parameter.  
Video output  
If you know which unit is being used as the receiver, you can select the analog video output to  
which the signal should be switched. If the destination unit is unknown, it is advisable to  
select the First available option. In this case, the image is placed on the first free video  
output. This is an output on which there is no signal. The connected monitor only displays  
images when an alarm is triggered. If you select a particular video output and a split image is  
set for this output on the receiver, you can also select from Decoder the decoder in the  
receiver that is to be used to display the alarm image.  
NOTICE!  
Refer to the destination unit documentation concerning image display options and available  
video outputs.  
Decoder  
Select a decoder of the receiver to display the alarm image. The decoder selected has an  
impact on the position of the image in a split screen. For example, you can specify via a VIP XD  
that the upper-right quadrant should be used to display the alarm image by selecting decoder  
2.  
SSL encryption  
The data for the connection, for example the password, can be securely transmitted with SSL  
encryption. If you have selected the On option, only encrypted ports are offered in the  
Remote port parameter.  
NOTICE!  
Please note that the SSL encryption must be activated and configured at both ends of a  
connection. This requires the appropriate certificates to be uploaded onto the AutoDome 700  
Series.  
You can activate and configure encryption of the media data (video and metadata) on the  
Encryption page (see Section 4.52 Encryption, page 58).  
Auto-connect  
Select the On option to automatically re-establish a connection to one of the previously  
specified IP addresses after each reboot, after a connection breakdown or after a network  
failure.  
NOTICE!  
In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for automatic connections. Bear this fact in  
mind when assigning the profile (see Section 4.19 Encoder Profile, page 28).

VCA  
The AutoDome 700 Series contains an integrated video content analysis (VCA), which can  
detect and analyze changes in the signal on the basis of image processing. Such changes can  
be due to movements in the camera's field of view.  
You can select various VCA configurations and adapt these to your application as required.  
The Silent MOTION+ configuration is active by default. In this configuration, metadata is  
created to facilitate searches of recordings; however, no alarm is triggered.  
1. Select a VCA configuration and make the required settings.  
2. If necessary, click the Default button to return all settings to their default values.  
VCA Profiles  
You can configure two profiles with different VCA configurations. You can save profiles on  
your computer's hard drive and load saved profiles from there. This can be useful if you want  
to test a number of different configurations. Save a functioning configuration and test new  
settings. You can use the saved configuration to restore the original settings at any time.  
NOTICE!  
If computing power becomes short, the highest priority is always the live images and  
recordings. This can lead to impairment of the video content analysis. You should therefore  
observe the processor load and optimize the encoder settings or the video content analysis  
settings as necessary.  
1. Select a VCA profile and enter the required settings.  
2. If necessary, click the Default button to return all settings to their default values.  
3. Click the Save... button to save the profile settings to another file. A new window is  
opened, in which you can specify where you want to save the file and what name you  
want to save it under.  
4. Click the Load... button to load a saved profile. A new window opens in which you can  
select the profile file and specify where to save the file.  
VCA configuration

Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless this was explicitly excluded.  
Depending on the analysis type selected and the relevant configuration, additional  
information overlays the video image in the preview window next to the parameter settings.  
With the MOTION+ analysis type, for example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded  
will be marked with rectangles.  
NOTICE!  
On the LIVEPAGE Functions page, you can also enable additional information overlays for the  
LIVEPAGE (see Section 4.15 Livepage Functions, page 27).  
Motion detector (MOTION+ only)  
For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:  
Analysis must be activated.  
At least one sensor field must be activated.  
The individual parameters must be configured to suit the operating environment and the  
desired responses.  
The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.  
CAUTION!  
Reflections of light (off glass surfaces, etc.), switching lights on or off or changes in the light  
level caused by cloud movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the  
motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests at different times of the day  
and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.  
For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.  
Sensitivity (MOTION+ only)  
The basic sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for the environmental conditions  
to which the camera is subject.  
The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image. The darker the  
observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.  
Minimum object size (MOTION+ only)  
You can specify the number of sensor fields that a moving object must cover to generate an  
alarm. This is to prevent objects that are too small from triggering an alarm.  
A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor fields.  
Select Area (MOTION+ only)  
The areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector can be selected. The video  
image is subdivided into 858 square fields. Each of these fields can be activated or  
deactivated individually. If you wish to exclude particular regions of the camera's field of view  
from monitoring due to continuous movement (by a tree in the wind, etc.), the relevant fields  
can be deactivated.  
1. Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new window will open.  
2. If necessary, click Clear All first to clear the current selection (fields marked yellow).  
3. Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are marked yellow.  
4. If necessary, click Select All to select the entire video frame for monitoring.  
5. Right-click any fields you wish to deactivate.  
6. Click OK to save the configuration.  
7. Click the close button X in the window title bar to close the window without saving the  
changes.

AutoDome 700 Series IP PTZ Camera  
Tamper detection  
You can reveal the tampering of cameras and video cables by means of various options. Run a  
series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is  
operating as intended.  
NOTICE!  
The options for tamper detection can only be set for fixed cameras. Dome cameras or other  
motorized cameras cannot be protected in this manner as the movement of the camera itself  
causes changes in the video image that are too great.  
Sensitivity  
NOTICE!  
This and the following parameter are only accessible if the reference check is activated.  
The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted for the environmental conditions  
to which the camera is subject.  
The algorithm reacts to the differences between the reference image and the current video  
image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.  
Trigger delay (s)  
You can set delayed alarm triggering. The alarm is only triggered after a set time interval in  
seconds has elapsed and then only if the triggering condition still exists. If the original  
condition has been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not triggered. This  
allows you to avoid false alarms triggered by short-term changes, for example cleaning  
activities in the direct field of vision of the camera.  
Global change  
You can set how large the global change in the video image must be for an alarm to be  
triggered. This setting is independent of the sensor fields selected under Select Area. Set a  
high value if fewer sensor fields need to change to trigger an alarm. With a low value, it is  
necessary for changes to occur simultaneously in a large number of sensor fields to trigger an  
alarm.  
This option allows you to detect, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the  
orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for  
instance.  
Global change  
Activate this function if the global change, as set with the Global change slide control, should  
trigger an alarm.  
Scene too bright  
Activate this function if tampering associated with exposure to extreme light (for instance,  
shining a flashlight directly on the lens) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the  
scene provides a basis for recognition.  
Scene too dark  
Activate this function if tampering associated with covering the lens (for instance, by spraying  
paint on it) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for  
recognition.

The AutoDome 700 Series features an alarm rule engine. In its simplest form, an alarm rule  
can define which input(s) activate which output(s). Basically, an alarm rule allows you to  
customize an AutoDome 700 Series to automatically respond to different alarm inputs.  
To configure an alarm rule specify one input from either a physical connection, a motion  
detection trigger, or from a connection to the camera’s Livepage. The physical input  
connection can be activated by dry contact devices such as pressure pads, door contacts and  
similar devices  
Next, specify up to two (2) rule outputs, or the camera’s response to the input. Outputs  
include a physical alarm relay, an AUX command, or a preposition scene.  
1. Click the Enabled check box to activate the alarm.  
2. Choose one of the following alarm inputs:  
Local Input 1: a physical alarm connection.  
Local Input 2: a physical alarm connection.  
IVA/MOTION+: an alarm when IVA or motion detection is activated.  
Connection: an alarm when an attempt is made to access the camera’s IP address.  
3. Choose one of the following output commands for both Output 1 and Output 2 settings:  
None: no defined command.  
Alarm Relay: defines a physical connection from the open collector alarm output.  
Aux On: defines a standard or custom keyboard ON command.  
Refer to Section 6 User Command Table, page 64, for a list of valid commands.  
Note: Only commands 1, 8, 18, 20, 43, 60, 80, 86 are supported. Support for the  
remaining commands is scheduled for a future release.  
Aux Off: defines a standard or custom keyboard OFF command.  
Refer to Section 6 User Command Table, page 64, for a list of valid commands.  
Note: Only commands 1, 8, 18, 20, 43, 60, 80, 86 are supported. Support for the  
remaining commands is scheduled for a future release.

Automatic IP assignment  
If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you  
can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the AutoDome 700 Series.  
Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System, Archive Player, Configuration  
Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these  
applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and  
MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is  
retained each time the system is rebooted.  
IP address  
Enter the desired IP address for the AutoDome 700 Series in this field. The IP address must  
be valid for the network.  
Subnet mask  
Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.  
Gateway address  
If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet, enter  
the IP address of the gateway here. Otherwise leave the box blank (0.0.0.0).  
DNS server address  
The AutoDome 700 Series is easier to access if the unit is listed on a DNS server. If you wish,  
for example, to establish an Internet connection to the AutoDome 700 Series, it is sufficient to  
enter the name given to the unit on the DNS server as a URL in the browser. Enter the IP  
address of the DNS server here. Servers are supported for secure and dynamic DNS.  
Video Transmission  
If the unit is operated behind a firewall, TCP (HTTP port) should be selected as the transfer  
protocol. For use in a local network, select UDP.  
CAUTION!  
Multicast operation is only possible with the UDP protocol. The TCP protocol does not  
support multicast connections.  
The MTU value in UDP mode is 1,514 bytes.  
HTTP browser port  
Select a different HTTP browser port from the list if required. The default HTTP port is 80. If  
you want to allow only secure connections via HTTPS, you must deactivate the HTTP port. In  
this case, select Off.  
HTTPS browser port  
If you wish to allow browser access on the network via a secure connection, select an HTTPS  
browser port from the list if necessary. The default HTTPS port is 443. Select the Off option  
to deactivate HTTPS ports; only unsecured connections will now be possible.  
The AutoDome 700 Series uses the TLS 1.0 encryption protocol. You may have to activate this  
protocol via your browser configuration. You must also activate the protocol for the Java  
applications (via the Java control panel in the Windows control panel).  
NOTICE!  
If you want to allow only secure connections with SSL encryption, you must select the Off  
option for each of the parameters HTTP browser port, RCP+ port 1756 and Telnet support.  
This deactivates all unsecured connections. Connections will then only be possible via the  
HTTPS port.

If necessary, select the Ethernet link type for the ETH interface. Depending on the unit  
connected, it may be necessary to select a special operation type.  
Network MSS (Byte)  
You can set the maximum segment size for the IP packet's user data. This gives you the option  
to adjust the size of the data packets to the network environment and to optimize data  
transmission. Please comply with the MTU value of 1,514 bytes in UDP mode.  
iSCSI MSS (Byte)  
You can specify a higher MSS value for a connection to the iSCSI system than for the other  
data traffic via the network. The potential value depends on the network structure. A higher  
value is only useful if the iSCSI system is located in the same subnet as the AutoDome 700  
Series.  
Enable DynDNS  
DynDNS.org is a DNS hosting service that stores IP addresses in a database ready for use. It  
allows you to select the AutoDome 700 Series via the Internet using a host name, without  
having to know the current IP address of the unit. You can enable this service here. To do this,  
you must have an account with DynDNS.org and you must have registered the required host  
name for the unit on that site.  
NOTICE!  
Information about the service, registration process and available host names can be found at  
DynDNS.org.

Multicast  
In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (unicast), the  
AutoDome 700 Series can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an  
encoder simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and then  
distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a single data stream to the  
network, where the data stream is simultaneously distributed to multiple receivers in a  
defined group (Multicast). You can enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each  
stream. You can switch between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.  
NOTICE!  
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the UDP and the Internet  
Group Management 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 will be necessary to  
use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously  
using the same port and multicast address.  
NOTICE!  
The settings must be made individually for each stream.  
Enable  
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.  
Multicast Address  
Enter a valid multicast address for each stream 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 unit). The AutoDome 700 Series supports multi-unicast  
connections for up to five simultaneously connected receivers.
