Streaming live audio or video

    To stream live audio or video:
    1 Set up your broadcast software following the instructions that came with it.
    2 Connect the audio or video equipment to the computer you're using to capture and encode the signal.
    3 Use your broadcast software to create a Session Description Protocol (SDP) file on the computer you use to capture and encode the live signal.
    See the instructions that came with your broadcast software.
    4 Copy the SDP file to your Darwin Streaming Server computer.
    Be sure to copy the file into the media folder you're using for streaming.
    5 If you want the streamed media to show on a Web page, set up the Web page. For more information about setting up a Web page to stream media, see About Darwin Streaming Server (Public Seed 2000). An electronic copy of the guide is included with the download.
    6 Make sure streaming service is started.
    7 Start the capture software following the instructions that came with it.
    8 Tell users how to view the streamed media.

    If users can't see the live streamed media:
    Make sure you are capturing a signal from the audio or video equipment into the computer you're using for capture and encoding.
    Make sure the SDP file is located in the media folder you set up on your streaming server.
