Broadcasting — QuickTime Streaming

QuickTime Streaming

There are four destinations available:

  1. "Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server"

    This will talk to a QuickTime Streaming Server and use the server to "reflect" the broadcast to users who view that server.

  2. Unicast

    This will broadcast directly to one single client (computer). You must define the address for the single client, and the presentation is streamed directly to this machine.

  3. Multicast

    This is an advanced feature that will broadcast "globally" on a network. In a LAN environment, this option can provide the ability to broadcast to multiple users without using QuickTime Streaming Server. This feature will only work over a LAN and not over the Internet.

  4. Record to Disk

    If you'd like to save your broadcast for archival purposes, you can use this option to save to disk.

Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server

As this is the most common method for QuickTime, you should investigate using this option for your broadcasting

To use this feature, you must supply a host name and file location. Only if your server requires a login do you need to supply a username and password.
