The RIST configuration is:

NACK Window (ms):

specify how long the encoder should buffer transmitted packets in

expectation of retransmission requests. The exact number does not matter much; a value
in the order of 5000 milliseconds should cover most cases.

Transmission Mode:

this parameter controls how the encoder handles multiple

destinations. The options are:

o

Independent Destinations:

The encoder treats each destination enabled under

Stream Destinations

as an independent receiver. Retransmission requests will be

independently handled per destination.

o

Replicated Streams:

The encoder assumes that it is sending multiple copies of the

stream to the same receiver, to implement SMPTE-2022-7 Seamless Switching.
Retransmissions may not be sent over the same destinations as the requests.

o

Bonded Streams:

The encoder splits the streams equally over the configured

destinations. For example, if there are three destinations, each will get 1/3 of the
packets. It is assumed that all destinations correspond to the same receiver, and the
receiver will re-order the packets prior to consuming them.

Limit Retrans Rate:

if this box is checked, the retransmission rate is limited. A new

parameter becomes available, where the maximum retransmission rate can be entered.

Stream Destinations:

up to 4 stream destinations can be configured. They will all receive the

same content and share the same NACK window if RIST is enabled. The destination parameters
are:

Enable:

check this box to enable transmission to this particular destination.

Destination:

enter the destination IP address.

UDP Port:

enter the destination UDP port. In RIST and RTP modes, this UDP port must

be an even number. Odd numbers will not be accepted in the GUI.

Interface:

select the desired streaming interface. RIST tunnels defined in the Network

Configuration RIST Tunnels Tab can also be selected here.

TTL:

select the desired Time-To-Live for the packets. The TTL value specifies how

many routers the packet can cross before being dropped.

TOS:

enter the value of the Type-Of-Service (TOS) field in the IP header, if desired,

between 0 and 255. The upper 6 bits of field are also known as the DSCP (Differentiated
