Adding QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server
Configuration Options
The Content Server default installation
supports only HTTP-based on demand
streaming of MPEG4 from its local IIS Web
Server. An external media server must be set
up for live unicast and true (RTSP) on-demand
streaming of MPEG4.
Click on the
Add QuickTime or Darwin
Streaming Server
to configure an external
server for streaming MPEG4 media.
The configuration options for your QuickTime
or Darwin streaming server include live and on
demand streaming.
There are two options for configuring the media
server for live MPEG4 streaming:
•
Live unicast streaming.
This requires an
external QuickTime or Darwin streaming
server to relay streams to clients.
•
Live multicast streaming.
This option
requires a Media Server to be set up on
the Content Server but does not require an
external QuickTime or Darwin streaming
server to relay streams to clients - the
multicast stream is sent directly from the
Content Server.

The QuickTime Or Darwin Streaming Server Settings
Unicast
connections are one-to one
connections between each QuickTime
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.
