Configuration using a single PWA-RX1 instance
This shows a small-scale system using a single PWA-RX1 instance. The PWA-RX1 instance acts as both streaming receiver and connection manager.
Note
- To stream from a camcorder, a camcorder with network functions is required. For details about supported camcorders, consult your Sony representative.
Configuration using multiple PWA-RX1 instances
Additional PWA-RX1 instances acting as streaming receivers can be used. The following configuration shows an example with one PWA-RX1 instance acting as both streaming receiver and connection manager, and another PWA-RX1 instance acting as a streaming receiver.
When using a multiple configuration, control the instances from a web browser on a client PC, and not the PCs on which PWA-RX1 is installed.
Note
- Systems with mixed PWA-RX1 instances with PWS-110RX1A units are not supported.
- A PWA-RX1 instance can connect its own receiver and another PWA-RX1 receiver to a single Connection Control Manager. Up to two receivers can be connected.
