JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY Subject: Application Note 6 Using Streamproducer with a Microsoft® Media Server Although it is possible to stream video directly to the internet from a Streamcorder or a locally attached computer, if you need to provide connectivity to more than a few users, you must use a Media Server. There are several configurations for streaming from a Streamcorder through a server, some of which are shown here: The first scenario uses an intermediate computer running Streamproducer to consolidate the video from multiple cameras. A separate Media Server is used to stream the single output of Streamproducer to the Internet. We have shown a Hub in this figure; however, if connecting to a single camera, this is not necessary. This is the simplest way to stream to many users, however, this method requires an intermediate PC and and multiple network interfaces in both the PC and server. In some instances where physical access to the Media Server is limited or permission to install software on the Media Server is denied, this may be a valid scenario. An alternate but similar scenario, shown here, may more closely resemble what is implemented in your location, An intermediate computer, possibly with two network interfaces , running Streamproducer is still required, but is now connected to the Media Server through a switch may be a valid scenario. This method does not require the additional network interface in the server. Again, in some instances where physical access to the Media Server is limited or permission to install software on the Media Server is denied, this Single Computer Implementation Described below, is a method for configuring a Media Server with Streamproducer to eliminate the need for an intermediate computer. This can be done either with a second network interface in the server, as discussed here, or connecting through a switch. The advantages of this method are obvious...less hardware means lower cost, and fewer things to go wrong! Page 1 of 4
