Multicast Traffic
 
Emblaze-VCON Product: Escort, Cruiser 75/150, Cruiser 384, MC6000, MC8000, MC9000, ViGO, Falcon
Non-Emblaze-VCON Product: none
 
Problem Description:
When does the multicast transmission actually begin during a Emblaze-VCON Interactive Multicast
 
Resolution:
There are two scenarios.

1. A Emblaze-VCON-only multicast session with 3rd party viewer support disabled

In this case, the multicast transmission does not actually begin until the first remote Emblaze-VCON participant is joined. Joining a multicast is accomplished either by dialing the Chair or by the Chair dialing the remote participants.

2. A multicast session with 3rd party viewer support enabled

If 3rd party viewer support is enabled, the multicast transmission actually begins as soon as the Chair starts the multicast. This is due to the fact that the 3rd party viewers are "passive" and not visible by the multicast chair.
