Adding Windows Media Streaming Server

TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

Configuration Options

Server Settings

 

 

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

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 or a multicast connection.

There are two options for configuring the Content Server for live multicast delivery:

Multicast streaming on a dynamically assigned IP address. The Content Server will use the first two octets of the IP address specified in the Destination multicast IP address of the WMS Multicast Data Writer properties, but it will dynamically assign the last two octets, eg. if an IP address like

10.0.1.1 is specified, the Content Server may use any addresses in the 10.0 range for multicast streaming.

Multicast streaming on a fixed IP address. If a Multicast IP address and port is specified in the Advanced Live Multicast Settings, the Content Server will stream to this IP address.

Server Settings

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

Advanced Live Multicast Settings. Select if you would like your multicast content to stream on a fixed IP address.

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.

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.
