are understood by the TouchStream software. There are many additional system
tags that you may find useful (e.g. %BR% is bitrate, %R% is output resolution).
You can modify the file name by pressing in the name field to open a keyboard
panel. You can add your own text to the preset file names, add additional system
tags, or create your own file names without system tags. When using system tags,
text can be inserted before, after or between system tags, but do not change the
text between the paired % signs. Keep in mind that you will overwrite an existing
file if you do not change the file name for each encode, or include a system tag
that automatically changes the file name for each encode.
Rollover: Projects that output Windows Media 9 (WM9) support an additional
Rollover option. Note that file rollover is not frame accurate, that is, you will lose a
few seconds between the end of one file and the beginning of the next file.
Rollover file names that include system tags (the %text% wildcards) will use the
values that are valid at the beginning of the encode session, and will not change
as each new rollover file is created. For example, if you are using the %T_% time
tag, and you start encoding at 10am with a rollover duration of 30 minutes,
the %T_% time tag will be 10am for all of the files. An auto-incrementing number
is used when rollover files are created.
Broadcast Output
Each project includes default settings for broadcasting a live stream. Some
projects include just one type of streaming output while others include more than
one type. Be sure to disable the ones you do not plan to use by pressing the
check mark to clear the ―Enable‖ box.
 ASF and WM9 Projects: These projects include both Push and Pull
output options.
The Push settings include all the information you need to send the
stream to the Windows Media Server.
The Pull setting is simply the HTTP Port that will be open for the Media
Server or a small number of direct clients to use to pull the data.
 Dicas Projects (for Mobile): These projects can multicast the stream or
they can send the stream to an external media server that can use an
SDP file, such as a Darwin Media Server.
The multicast option uses the IP address you provide and also creates
an SDP file at the default location.
The external option sends the stream to the server at the IP address and
port specified, and creates an SDP file on the media server. For media
servers that need authorization you can specify the username and
password.
