All Allied Vision GigE cameras support multicasting. This feature can be controlled and added to an application using either Vimba, PvAPI, or a third-party SDK. When multicasting is enabled, the camera broadcasts image data to a multicast address. Any device on the same network as the camera can receive multicast image data.

Example applications include:

• Assigning a different image processing task to different systems and increasing functionality by adding more processing power
• Parallel processing of images on multiple PCs
• System monitoring
