To set up your streaming server:

To set up your streaming server:
1 Open Server Admin.
2 In the Computers & Services list, select the computer you want to set up as a
QuickTime Streaming Server and make sure you can see all of its services (click the
triangle next to the computer if you can’t see the services).
3 In the Computers & Services list, click QuickTime Streaming.
4 Click Start Service.


Sample QuickTime movies are included with QTSS in the default movie folder so you
can test the server setup. The sample movies can be viewed from a client computer
using QuickTime Player.
Note: The included sample .mp3 file is for use in a streaming MP3 playlist only. It is not
a hinted QuickTime movie and cannot be streamed on demand via RTSP. For
information on preparing MP3 and other prerecorded media for simulated live
streaming, see “Preparing Prerecorded Media for Streaming” on page 43.
To test your server setup by viewing a sample movie:
1 On another computer, open QuickTime Player.
2 Choose File > Open URL in New Player.
3 Enter the following URL:
rtsp://hostname/sample_300kbit.mov
where hostname is the host name or IP address of the QuickTime streaming server.
Choose the movie with the bit rate appropriate for your bandwidth.
4 Click OK.
QuickTime Player connects with the server and plays the movie in a new window.


To view streaming media, users must have QuickTime 4 or later (or an MP4 player).
Following are the instructions to provide to users who want to view media streamed
from your server.
To view streamed media:
1 Open QuickTime Player.
2 Choose File > Open URL.
3 Enter the URL for the media file. For example:
rtsp://myserver.com/mymedia
where myserver.com is the DNS name of the QTSS computer and mymedia is the
name of the hinted movie or media file.
This URL assumes that the movie or media file is located at the top level of the media
directory. For movies in subfolders within the media directory, add the folder to the
pathname. For example:
rtsp://myserver.com/myfolder/mymedia.mov
If you want users to view streamed media through a web browser, you must set up a
webpage to show the media (see “Creating Webpages” below) and give users the
page’s URL. Typing an RTSP URL directly into the web browser’s address field is not
recommended (some web browsers don’t understand “rtsp”).

Creating Webpages
QTSS Publisher generates HTML for each playlist. To create a webpage link to a playlist,
drag the HTML to your webpage editor.
You can also use QTSS Publisher to create webpages. Predesigned templates are
provided, so you can create an attractive webpage without having to do a lot of design
work. (See the sample below.)
To create a webpage:
1 In QTSS Publisher, choose File > New Collection or click the New (+) button.
2 Choose Webpage from the pop-up menu.
3 Type a name for the webpage. (You can change the name later.)
The name you type will be the title on the webpage. As you enter the name, QTSS
Publisher creates a URL name for you (you can change the URL name if you wish).
4 Click Create.
5 To put a media file or playlist on the webpage, click Library and drag the file to the
webpage icon in the source list.
6 Click Open to open the webpage in a browser.
Users can access the webpage by typing the URL into their browser.
You can change the template the webpage uses at any time with the Template pop-up
menu.

Live Broadcasting Requirements

Live Broadcasting Requirements
If you want to broadcast live content, you can use QuickTime Broadcaster, which is
included and installed with Mac OS X Server. For setup and other information, see the
Apple QuickTime Broadcaster webpage (www.apple.com/quicktime/products/
broadcaster/) and QuickTime Broadcaster online help.

You need the following equipment to stream live audio or video:
• Source equipment for audio, video, or both, such as a VCR, video camera, and
microphone.
• A computer with QuickTime Broadcaster or other broadcast software (G4 computer
recommended for MPEG-4 broadcasting) and a video or audio capture card.
Note: QuickTime Broadcaster supports video capture from most FireWire-equipped
sources, including digital video (DV) cameras, some webcams, and DV converter
boxes for a fast and easy broadcasting process with professional-quality results.
• 128 MB of RAM (256 MB recommended for professional broadcasting).
• QuickTime 6 or later.

Apple - Mac OS X Server - Features - Podcast Producer

Apple - Mac OS X Server - Features - Podcast Producer: "Once recording is completed, the file is automatically uploaded to Podcast Producer for processing. Podcast Producer leverages the power of QuickTime to encode content into standard formats such as H.264 and MPEG-4. And with Episode Podcast from Telestream, Podcast Producer can accept and re-encode media from other popular formats including Windows Media, Flash 8, VC-1, and more.

Podcast Producer includes a dozen built-in workflows to automate publishing of podcasts to blogs, iTunes, iTunes U, or even multimedia-enabled cell phones over high-speed wireless networks using QuickTime Streaming Server. Workflows include the ability to archive recordings, apply custom Quartz Composer compositions with titles and watermarks, add opening and closing videos, notify the iTunes Podcast Directory of the new episode, and send out an announcement email.

Podcast Producer uses Xgrid distributed processing technology for large-scale podcast productions — encoding tasks are automatically distributed to other servers. All that is required is another server running Podcast Producer and a shared file system such as Xsan or NFS."

Apple - Mac OS X Server - Features - Podcast Producer: "Podcast Producer is a complete, end-to-end solution for encoding, publishing, and distributing high-quality podcasts. Ideal for employee training, university lectures, presentations — or whatever audio or video podcasts your organization requires — Podcast Producer simplifies the process of recording content, encoding, and publishing podcasts for playback in iTunes and on iPod, iPhone, and Apple TV."
