271 Streaming - network delivery of media. May refer to technologies that match the bandwidth of the media signal to the viewer's connection, so that the media is always seen in realtime (Real-Time Streaming). Also refers to media that can be viewed over a network prior to being fully downloaded (HTTP Streaming or Progressive Streaming). StreamPublisher - a feature that streamlines the workflow by automatically uploading files to an FTP server after they have been encoded. Eliminates the task of performing a separate upload with an external FTP application. Subsample - see Color Subsampling. Suffix - Also called an extension, the last part of a file name that indicates the file type. SureStream - Real 10 scalability feature that enables a movie to be encoded with multiple data rates in a single file and delivered to viewers over the Internet at an appropriate data rate based on their connection speed. Symmetric Codec - codec that encodes and decodes video in roughly the same amount of time. Live broadcast and teleconferencing systems generally use fairly symmetric codecs in order to encode the video in realtime as it is captured. H.263 is an example of a symmetric codec. T1 - fast network connection. Theoretical limit is 1.5 Mbits/sec, but the realities of the Internet usually cut down the throughput dramatically. TCP (Transfer Control Protocol) - common network transfer protocol used widely on the Internet. Target Machine - typical/minimal configuration (of computer hardware and software) on which a movie will be viewed.
