4.4.2.4 Initial Streaming Mode
All new connections are created in unicast mode. If a second receiver connects to the same channel, the unicast connection is
briefly disconnected and replaced with the new multicast connection. The first-connected receiver would experience a brief screen
black-out.
Selecting multicast in this option causes new connections to start directly in multicast mode so that subsequent receivers can
connect to the same channel or video stream without causing any interruption to the initial video connection.
4.4.2.5 DDC
Allows you to force a particular DDC to be sent to receivers, or you can set it to use the DDC of the monitor currently connected
to the receiver.
4.4.2.6 Hotkey
Allows you to define the default keypress combination that will be used to access the ServSwitch iPATH on-screen display (OSD)
menu by each user. If the hotkey combination is altered, the change will be applied instantly to all receivers.
4.4.2.7 Anonymous User
Allows you to nominate a profile for an anonymous user that will be applied to any receivers that do not require login. The
channels available to that receiver will be those available to the user that is selected here. You can create a suitable standard user
profile in the same way as any other user (see The Users tab) and then choose it within this setting.
4.4.2.8 Rows per Page
Determines how many rows to show per page in any paginated table within the admin section, e.g. Users, Channels, Receivers,
Event/Connection Logs.
4.4.2.9 ServSwitch iPATH IP Address
Defines the IP address to which the ServSwitch iPATH server has been set. Connect a display monitor to the VGA port of the
ServSwitch iPATH unit to discover its current IP address.
The default ServSwitch iPATH server IP address is 169.254.1.3
Note: If the ServSwitch iPATH server’s IP address is changed, any connected transmitters or receivers will be rebooted.
