Click on Add Windows Media Streaming Server to create a new server for streaming Windows Media.

Only Windows Media Streaming Servers are supported for streaming Windows Media content off the TANDBERG Content Server.

The configuration options for your Windows Media streaming server include live and on demand streaming.

Live streams can be sent to Windows Media Player clients using either a unicast (Support Live Unicast Streaming option) or a multicast (Support Live Multicast Streaming option) connection.

Please note that unicast streaming can be configured for either the local or an external Windows Media Streaming Server, but mulitcast streaming can only be configured with the local Windows Media Streaming Server.

Before you can start delivering your live content as a multicast stream, you need to check with your network administrator that your network is multicast enabled.

Name. Enter a descriptive name for the server. The server name will be used in a template when selecting a media server. This field is required.

Server Address. Enter the DNS name or the IP address of the server. Use (local) if it is on this TANDBERG Content Server. This field is required.

Support Live Unicast Streaming. Select if the server is to support live unicast streaming. Once selected the Media Server will be available to choose in the Live Media Server Settings for templates that stream Windows Media.

Support Live Multicast Streaming. Select if the server is to support live multicast streaming. Once selected the Media Server will be available to choose in the Live Media Server Settings for templates that stream Windows Media. If you select this option, the Unicast and On Demand options will become unavailable, so you cannot create a multicast and on demand streaming server as one Media Server.

Unicast is the default live streaming

option for the default Local Windows

Media Streaming Server. Unicast connections are one-to one connections

between each Windows Media Player client and the server. Each unicast client that connects to the server takes up additional bandwidth.

In multicast delivery, the server sends only one stream which reaches all player clients at the same time. There is no additional overhead for the server regardless of whether one or more clients are connected.

Multicast delivery is generally used for broadcasting live streams on a corporate network and will only work if all routers on the network are multicast enabled.

Support On Demand. Select if the server is to support on demand streaming. Once selected the Media Server will be available to choose in the On Demand Media Server Settings for templates that stream Windows Media.
