2. Network
2-1 Time Setting (NTP)
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a communication protocol which synchronizes the
clock in the device connected to the network to the correct time.
It will correct the time automatically by specifying the address of the NTP server
located within the local network and the internet. Please confirm with the network
administrator concerning to the NTP server to be used.
The MEDIAEDGE Decoder will make the correction by quering the time on the NTP
server every set time that was set after the startup or in the update interval (minute).
The initial value of the update interval is 60 minutes; however, please adjust to the
precision of the time required for each operation.
2-2 UPnP
The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a protocol that detects automatically and
acquires the information when the equipment is connected to the network.
The MEDIAEDGE Finder and Windows 7 / Windows 8 will use the UpnP to detect
the equipment that corresponds to the UPnP such as the MEDIAEDGE Decoder in
the same network.
At the startup and the shutdown and also in a regular interval, the UPnP sends out
the packet of recognition to the network. It is possible to stop the packet to be sent
out when the network affects the streaming packet.
2-3 Streaming
MEDIAEDGE delivers the video stream by using the streaming protocol of RTSP/
RTP.
FEC (Forward Error Correction)
The video stream will not be received since the packet of PTP is sent
by the UDP and will not be resent even if the packet loss occurs. If the
FEC is enabled, the packet loss that occuered within a certain range will
be automatically corrected. However, a large communication capacity is
required since the packet for error correction will be superimposed on the
network.
