Recording program output really simply involves archiving your live stream file as it is created by the
encoder. Simply configure and check-mark a File Capture preset for this purpose.
FIGURE 91
The Web Browser button in the header of the Streaming Configuration panel does what you would expect,
opening a web browser. This feature is provided for your convenience when working with web streams
or your content delivery network account. We do not recommend general purpose web surfing during live
operations.
Hint: If the web browser is hidden from view because a Live Desktop operation took precedence, you
can re-use this button to bring the browser window to the front again.
When you are ready, initiate streaming to the Preset targets you have check-marked in the Streaming
Configuration panel by clicking the STREAM/RECORD button in the Dashboard at the top of the Live
Desktop panel.
One of the best approaches when beginning (to stream your productions) is to establish a relationship
with a commercial streaming media provider. A good provider can guide you past firewalls, provide public
addresses for everyone to view your stream, and provide no end of valuable guidance.
And it may not be as expensive as you think (costs vary based on considerations such as how many
viewers you expect, how much web bandwidth you use each month, and so-on). Some services based
on an advertising model will even host your stream free.
Not all 'streaming' is 'live streaming.' The difference is similar to i) watching a television program you
previously recorded at a time convenient for you, or ii) watching a live event.
On demand streams are stored on a server (often supplied by an external service provider), ready to be
transmitted whenever a viewer wishes. Live streams are available at the time they are broadcast, such
as during a live concert or event (some CDNs blur the boundaries between live streaming and VOD by
offering DVR-style pause and rewind features).
