Note

2. X-5

MDS is an abbreviation for Multicast Distribution System and is a system for IP multicast

transfer of the video/audio from players (computers and DVD players) to displays (TVs and

monitors).

The devices connected to computers, DVD players, and other players are referred to

as "transmitters", and the devices connected to projectors and displays are referred to

as "receivers". The transmitter encodes the signals that are output from the player and

distributes the encoded data in realtime to the receiver, where the data is then decoded

and output.
