Stream using multicast
A multicast stream consists of one stream distributed to many viewers via a multicast-capable network. You
are only able to broadcast to one multicast network at a time, but you may broadcast to a multicast network
and any number of non-multicast CDNs.
Pearl Mini supports multicast streaming content to an IP TV or a set-top box playlist when the stream format
is MPEG-TS. You may only stream to one multicast network at a time.
Note that only one multicast network may be used simultaneously. So if you select MPEG-TS
UDP push , MPEG-TS RTP/UDP push or RTP/UDP push , you are not able to select any of the
others, and you must delete the stream to select a different multicast network. Adding, removing,
or changing the settings for any of these three multicast publishers stops any current streaming
or recording session.
