Re: Streaming server?

[Francisco Cruz <paco@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

We are using Windows Media Services, we have a codec's network (12) in
all our multimedia rooms. For each room we have defined in the windows
media services a publication point (push). We also have 4 broadcast
publish point for live streaming (these points are unicast and
multicast, with .nsc file)

We have also developed a software to catalog and publish all this
content (you can see this in: https://marge2.uc3m.es/arcamm ). We have
videos withb several formats (PAL, 800x600, 1024x768) and bit rate (from
100 kbps to 2000 Mpbs). For statistics we are developing a tools that
analyze the windows media services log and join this with the metadata
of the videos in our application databases (ARCAMM)

Now we are testing the flash format (H.264 under adobe flash server). I
think for now we using the two formats (we are adapting our statistics
application for the logs files of flash server)   

I hope this information will be useful

Regards
Paco.
