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 multicast pools is enables 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.
