Player® (using the Open URL window) will direct WMP to show the stream from
your system on client computer system(s) connected to the Internet (or intranet).
4.13.3 PUSH AND RTMP STREAMING
Browser Based, Windows Media Push and RTMP streaming are slightly more
complex, largely because they depend on external resources to distribute your
stream to a wider viewing audience. These may be provided in house by your
organization, or you may take advantage of a commercial (or advertising sponsored)
Content Delivery Network (CDN).
Arrangements and requirements of various external streaming hosts are diverse,
but TriCaster’s Streaming Configuration panel adapts to provide the necessary input
and information fields for the various types. More detail on these matters, including
connecting to a network and numerous useful tips on streaming strategies is found
in Chapter 18, Streaming.
4.13.4 CAPTURING THE STREAM
Whenever you are streaming your output, TriCaster archives the live stream as a
file. Files are saved to D:\Media\Clips\sessionname\SavedStreams.This is a very
useful feature. Among other things, it allows you to post the captured file to a
website immediately after an event for ‘video on demand’ streaming purposes – for
late arrivals or others who want to review the live event.
Note: Remember to turn off the Stream when your production concludes, or TriCaster
will continue writing the stream capture file.
