ZEC Multicast Pull Outputs

Multicast pool is a collection of multicast IP addresses that automatically assign a multicast IP when an input is being pulled out of the ZEC. When the “multicast pool” 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 ZEC will assign the multicast IP automatically when it pulls the stream out. When the multicast stream is connected, it will appear in the Status table at the bottom of the screen.
