QuickTime TV allows you to digitize any video signal and send it out live on any IP network, including the Internet. The digital signal is copied in the network using one of two technologies - IP Multicast or QuickTime TV reflectors. Clients can 'tune in' to your broadcast and watch it in real time. QuickTime TV leverages QuickTime for video and audio compression, allowing you to use the latest coding techniques to send signals which will be viewable over a 28.8 modem. Or you can use higher data rates to get better sound or video quality.
Unlike other techniques, QuickTime TV is live, requiring no disk space at either server or client, and is codec-independent. And, because the network replicates the signal to the clients, the load on the source server is independent of the number of people watching.
