Setting up a video over IP system requires careful network planning. Stacking switches may simplify management and improve performance, but its necessity depends on switch capabilities, bandwidth needs, and network complexity.
Consider these:
- Network design: Use a dedicated VLAN for video traffic, enable IGMP snooping for efficient multicast management, and implement QoS to prioritize video data.
- Switch configuration: Ensure SFP module compatibility and consider link aggregation for better bandwidth and redundancy.
- Bluestream Setup: Properly configure encoders, decoders, and multicast addressing.
- Testing & Monitoring: Perform thorough testing and monitor network performance to prevent issues.
I recommend you to check switch and Bluestream documentation and start with a simple setup before scaling.
