AND - what Multicast IP port numbers do they use

 

Bandwidth and stream requirements

  • FSII IPT (1.9GHz) & FS-Edge IPT (5GHz)

    • 1 stream in each direction for each IPT connected to the frame.

    • These streams are using unicast IP addresses. Each stream uses 2x AES67 channels (4x AES67 channels for Edge IPT).

    • Bandwidth requirements is a constant 7 Mbps (FSII IPT) or 9.6 Mbps (FS-Edge IPT) per direction per IPT (using 125μs packet size). It doesn’t matter how many beltpacks are connected to the transceiver.
      You can refer to the table provided by Clear-Com if using 1ms packet sizes.

  • IRIS panel

    • 1 stream in each direction for each IRIS panel connected to the frame.

    • Using unicast IP address for destination.

    • Bandwidth requirements vary depending on the amount of hosted direct you have on the panel.

      • The main panel audio will take 1 AES67 channel. Each additional hosted directs will add 1 AES67 channel to the stream.

      • No hosted directs: Constant 5 Mbps in both directions

      • 1 hosted direct: Constant 6.5 Mbps in both directions

      • 2 hosted directs: Constant 8 Mbps in both directions

You can refer to the table provided by Clear-Com if running in 1ms packet sizes.

See Iris Panel AES67 Bandwidth Requirements

 

Since our audio is being mixed at the frame, the bandwidth going to each transceiver and IRIS panels is always constant.

 

Only multicast group we are using for IRIS and IPT:

PTP: 224.0. 1.129 ports 319, 320

mDNS: 224.0.0.251 port 5353

 

Way to calculate bandwidth requirements: See our calculator

FSII IPT

<nb of IPTs> * 7 Mbps = total IPT bandwidth

 

FS-Edge IPT

<nb of IPTs> * 9.6 Mbps = total IPT bandwidth

See IP Transceiver Bandwidth Requirements

IRIS panels

This is a bit trickier because the bandwidth vary depending on hosted directs usage. But, if you know, from the configuration, how many panels have 0, 1 and 2 hosted directs, you can use the following formula:

<nb IRIS 0 hosted> * 5 Mbsp + <nb IRIS 1 hosted> * 6.5 Mbps + <nb IRIS 2 hosted> * 8 Mbps = total IRIS bandwidth
