Multicast pool is a collection of multicast IP addresses which provides a multicast IP automatically when an input is being pulled out of the Zixi Broadcaster. When the “multicast pools” setting is enabled, you do not have to define a specific multicast IP address for every push stream. Instead, you simply enable the Multicast Only parameter and Zixi Broadcaster will assign the multicast IP automatically when it pulls the stream out.
