Multicast 2Mbit limit too low for HD video management system?

[jaylik]

Is it possible to get rid of 2Mbit multicast bitrate limit? We would like to use Pulse with video management system with uses HD IP-cameras. This application would be need atleast 4 cams x ~3.5Mbits=~14Mbits bandwidth. With one camera it seems to work quite nicely (because error correcting I guess :-).

Would this be possible somehow?

Not on the product as it is; I would recommend working with your account team for an enhancement request with the PLM team

We tried - but without any response from PA. In Finland there is no local sales team so, any ideas how this enhancement request would go trough?

I will check on if I can find a resource in your area that you may be able to reach out to

Question - how did you arrive at the 2mbit limit issue?
We are also trying to use multicast and ran into issues were we could hear audio but not see video (only a green screen)
Thanks

We tried to view IP-cameras trough client software and stream was laggy/choppy and logs show frame drops (bitrate is ~3.5Mbits so ~2Mbit gets trough and picture is rendered, that green screen indicates too high drop rate).

With higher bitrates we couldn't get video at all.
