Adding Windows Media Streaming Server
Configuration Options
Click
Add Windows Media Streaming Server
to create a new server for streaming Windows
Media.
Only Windows Media Streaming Servers are
supported for streaming Windows Media
content off the TANDBERG Content Server.
Saving the media server will check that the
server is available at the specified server
address and will display the media server type
if the information is available.
The configuration options for your Windows
Media streaming server include live and on
demand streaming.
Live streams can be sent to Windows Media
Player clients using either a unicast
(Support
Live Unicast Streaming
option) or a multicast
(Support Live Multicast Streaming
option)
connection.
Please note that unicast streaming can be
configured for either the local or an external
Windows Media Streaming Server, but
mulitcast streaming can only be configured with
the local Windows Media Streaming Server.
Before you can start delivering your live content
as a multicast stream, you need to check with
your network administrator that your network is
multicast enabled.

Unicast
is the default live streaming
option for the default Local Windows
Media Streaming Server. Unicast
connections are one-to one connections
between each Windows Media Player client and
the server. Each unicast client that connects to
the server takes up additional bandwidth.

In
multicast
delivery, the server sends only one
stream which reaches all player clients at the
same time. There is no additional overhead for
the server regardless of whether one or more
clients are connected.
Multicast delivery is generally used for
broadcasting live streams on a corporate
network and will only work if all routers on the
network are multicast enabled.
