(RTSP) on-demand streaming of MPEG-4 for QuickTime. Only QuickTime and Darwin Streaming Servers are supported for streaming MPEG-4 for QuickTime content.

Saving the Media server configuration checks that the server is available at the specified server address and displays the server type, if the information is available. Unicast live streaming from QuickTime or Darwin servers (RTSP announce) is also tested when the Media server configuration is saved.

You can set up a Media server configuration for a QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server to do live and/or on demand streaming. There are two options for configuring the Media server for live MPEG-4 for QuickTime streaming:

Live unicast streaming: This requires an external QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server to relay streams to clients.

Live multicast streaming: This does not require an external QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server to relay streams to clients - the multicast stream is sent directly from the Content Server.

Streaming port range start

The port number for the start of the streaming port range, e.g. 30000. The start port must be an even number. The Content Server will use the streaming start port + 30 for streaming live calls; for example, a port range

The ports used by the Content Server are listed in Port Information.
