How the broadcast will be delivered to its viewers depends on the number of
intended viewers and where the viewers are in relation to where the broadcast is
originating. Are they on the same LAN or will they be accessing the broadcast from
an external network? The answers to the above questions will help decide the
delivery method of the broadcast.
The Lecture Recorder x2 can support streaming over HTTP, RTSP, peer-to-peer RTP
connection, multicast RTP, MPEG-TS, and a Content Distribution Network (CDN)
broadcast network. Each broadcast delivery method will be now discussed in more
detail.
9.1 HTTP or RTSP Streaming
For HTTP or RTSP streaming the only information required to view the broadcast is
the URL of the broadcast. The Lecture Recorder x2 is ready to go straight out of the
box, without any additional settings. If your broadcast needs to be accessed by
many clients, use a Content Distribution Network as explained in the Using a
Content Distribution Network section.
