Description:
Sets the latency delay before the decoder begins play back from the multicast
source. The latency is argued as a millisecond value. The minimum allowed
latency is 4 milliseconds.
The default MULTICASTLATENT setting is 500 milliseconds
The MULTICASTLATENT setting is saved in the DCMD CONFIGURATION file.
A 'channel' value may be argued for this command. At this time the same
MULTICASTLATENT value is used for all multicast channels.
If the MULTICASTLATENT delay time is too large, and the internal delay buffer is
about to overflow, the system will start the multicast playback early to prevent
the overflow. A log message is generated when this condition occurs.
Form:
Command Handler: DCMD
MULTICASTLATENT|MLT|MA [CHANNEL] [VALUE]
Channel List (args are not case sensitive):
Terse Verbose Description
CHn CHn The MLT will be set for channel n, where n is a
valid channel number, starting at 0.
If no CHANNEL is argued, the system will default to channel 0.
Argument List:
Terse Verbose Description
VALUE none Sets the value of the latency delay in milliseconds.
Default vlue is 500 milliseconds.
Minimum allowed value is 4 milliseconds.
Response:
MULTICASTLATENT RESPONSE
Verbose- "OK\r\n" to acknowledge receipt of command, or
"ERROR- [Description]\r\n" if error, ending command
Terse- "0\r\n" to acknowledge receipt of command, or
"[NON-ZERO NUMERIC VALUE]\r\n" if error, ending command
"\r\n" concludes modify responses (empty line)
Examples:
Verbose command to retrieve current setting:
*.DCMD MULTICASTLATENT <enter>
Response is: OK\r\n
MULTICASTLATENT CH0= 500\r\n
*.DCMD MULTICASTLATENT CH1<enter>
Response is: OK\r\n
MULTICASTLATENT CH1= 500\r\n
Verbose command to change setting:
*.DCMD MULTICASTLATENT 1000 <enter>
Response is: OK\r\n
Terse command to change setting:
*.DCMD MA 1000 <enter>
Response is: 0\r\n
Verbose command to change setting while specifying a channel:
*.DCMD MULTICASTRIPA CH1 1000 <enter>
Response is: OK\r\n
Terse command to change setting while specifying a channel:
*.DCMD MA CH1 1000 <enter>
Response is: 0\r\n
