case, it may be impossible to monitor images.
Change the multicast port number.
• When transmitting an MPEG-4 image via a network,
the transmitted image sometimes may not be dis-
played. In this case, refer to the network administra-
tor. 
• When two or more network interface cards are
installed on the PC in use, the network interface
