Pearl User Guide Stream content using multicast
11. Enter a multicast IP address in the SAP announcement IP field. If your media player is configured to
receive multicast streams from an IP address that is different from the default address 224.2.127.254,
you may need to contact your system administrator for a specific multicast IP address.
12. Enter a channel number in the Channel number field to identify your stream in the media player. By
default the Channel number is the channel identifier.
When a channel number value is not specified, viewers cannot select a channel from the
set-top box or Smart TV .
13. Enter a name for a group of streams in the text box next to Group name. Since media players simply
present a list of available streams, you can organize your streams into multiple folders or in cases where
folders are not displayed, use dot separator hierarchy to help your viewers filter out unwanted streams
by category.
14. Click Apply. To view the stream, open the URL in a media player, for example:
udp://@ip:port
For example: udp://@226.10.24.32:7000
To view the stream when SAP announce has been set and the stream is advertised from a media player,
set-top-box or Smart TV, refer to
Viewing with SAP Announce.
