Description:
Sets the timeout value for return to normal video playback after video multicast packets are no
longer detected. The default timeout value is 300 (300 milliseconds). If the timeout value is
set too low, the multicast receive may timeout during normal reception if the packet
transmission is bursty.
The command format has been modified to allow for multiple decode channels in a single unit.
At this time, only channel 0 is supported.

Command Handler: DCMD
MULTICASTTIMEOUT|MTU|MU [CHANNEL] [ARGUMENT]
Channel List (args are not case sensitive):
Terse Verbose Description
CHn CHn The MTU 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 CH0.
Argument List:
Terse Verbose Description
33-30000 none Number of milliseconds to wait when no packets
received before returning to multicast playback.
Response:
MODIFY MULTICASTTIMEOUT 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)
DISPLAY MULTICASTTIMEOUT RESPONSE
Verbose- "OK\r\n" to acknowledge receipt of command, followed by
"MULTICASTTIMEOUT CHn= [TIMEOUT] milliseconds\r\n", or
"ERROR- [Description]\r\n" if error, ending command
Terse- "0\r\n" to acknowledge receipt of command, followed by
"[TIMEOUT]\r\n", or
"[NON-ZERO NUMERIC VALUE]\r\n" if error, ending command
"\r\n" concludes display responses (empty line)
Examples:
Verbose command to retrieve current setting:
*.DCMD MULTICASTTIMEOUT <enter>
Response is: OK\r\n
MULTICASTTIMEOUT CH0= 400 milliseconds\r\n
