Configuration: Recorder > Operation
Receive Address
Mode Allows the user to specify how the receive address will be
configured: IP address or Host Name.
Receive Host Name The source for video to be received by using Host Name of the
source. This parameter can be used only for a unicast source.
Receive IP Address In multicast mode, this parameter selects the receive IP Address for
the Recorder. In unicast mode, this parameter is optional. If left
blank, the Recorder will accept all data received on the receive IP
port. If set, the Recorder will communicate with any VBrick having
the encoder "unicast poll" option set and instruct it not to transmit
its stream unless the encoding VBrick has the selected receive IP
Address.
Receive Port The receive port designates what local IP port is assigned to listen
for incoming video.
Receive Mode This read-only parameter informs the operator whether the selected
receive IP Address is Unicast or Multicast.
Packet Ordering Toggles the state IP packet ordering. The identification number in
the IP header determines IP packet ordering. Out of order packets
are discarded prior to being given to the decoder. Generally, when
packet ordering is enabled, the VBrick will store the out of order
packets and attempt to reassemble the entire datagram. Some
sources of video may not utilize the identification number field in a
consistent manner and therefore the packet ordering feature may
need to be disabled.
