Mediacast Router
Use the Mediacast Router component to route multiple Mediacast streams to multiple destination Mediacast-capable devices. For example, you might want to see more than one camera on a single USB Video Bridge and switch between them. Or, you might want to create a design that handles video distribution for divisible or multipurpose room types.
Tip: The Mediacast Router configuration can easily be added to a Snapshot Bank for a simple and intuitive way to create presets.
Devices that send Mediacast streams
Devices that receive Mediacast streams
- Any Q-SYS device with a USB Video Bridge. Refer to the USB Video Bridge topic to see a list of supported hardware.
Input n
These pins receive incoming Mediacast streams from the Video Output pins of Mediacast-capable components.
Output n
This pins send outgoing, routed Mediacast streams to the Video Input pins of Mediacast-capable components.
In this example, the Mediacast streams from four Q-SYS cameras can be routed to any of the USB Video Bridge-capable devices in the design – in this case, a Core Nano and an IO-USB Bridge.
Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.
