Configure Multicast Settings
The Polycom RealPresence Capture Server system supports the multicast function and can perform the
one-to-many transmission of video streams. The system only needs to send the video streams once so that
multiple computers can simultaneously share live streaming so as to greatly reduce the demand for
transmitting network video streams and save the network bandwidth.
The Polycom RealPresence Capture Server system supports the simultaneous multicast of up to 100
channels.

To use the multicast function successfully, the following conditions are required to be met:
● The multicast function is activated in the Polycom Capture Server system. Contact your supplier to
obtain this function.
The multicast function is disabled by default.
● Routers and switches in the network of client computers are configured correctly to support the IP
multicast communication with the Polycom Capture Server system.

Before you use the system to perform the multicast, it is necessary to configure parameters on the Multicast
page.
