Multimedia streaming setup, as shown in Figure 1-1, includes two types of interactions.
In the server part, the multimedia streaming server accepts multimedia data or input
from any of the following sources:
• Live broadcast, such as a digital camera connected to the computer port.
• Data stored in the form of media.
• Data stored on machines in a network.
The streaming server processes the real-time multimedia data and sends it to the client,
such as a mobile phone via a network.
