Q

Auto-cast

A

Start automatically when a client connects. If an image is transferred to 10 clients, transmission will start as soon as the first one connects. It won’t wait for all 10 to connect.

If a workstation joins mid-stream, it joins the multicast. It catches up after the multicast is done.
