FEC parameters. This feature can be enabled with the Forward Error Correction checkbox, the following
parameters will appear.
The following parameters are available:
FEC mechanism can be used to correct errors that occur during transport.
Choose either one:
• COP3 – Level A: Use FEC Columns only (protects again burst loss)
• COP3 – Level B: Use both FEC Columns and Rows (provides
additional protection against Random Packet Loss)
A FEC Matrix is generated and transmitted on two separate UDP ports:
• FEC columns on UDP Port +2, and when using level B:
• FEC Rows on UDP Port +4.
When FEC is enabled, it is important that the UDP ports reserved for the FEC
system is not occupied by other traffic.
The FEC matrix, L=Columns, D=Rows; value ranges from 1 to 20.
