Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server

Since this is the most common method for QuickTime, you should always consider

using this option for your broadcast. To use this feature, you must supply a host name

and file location. You need to supply a user-name and password only if your server

requires a login.

This feature requires that you have access to a QuickTime Streaming Server (QTSS) or

Darwin Streaming Server (DSS). Darwin Streaming Server is a free download from

Apple and can be installed on many operating systems.

Unicast

Unicast is used for broadcast to only one computer. To set up a unicast, follow these

steps:

1. Obtain the IP address of the target computer, and configure your broadcast using

it.

2. Save an SDP file on the target computer.

3. Start broadcasting your presentation.

4. The viewer must open the SDP file using QuickTime Player to see your presentation.

Note: If you change any setting regarding the broadcast (encoding settings, etc.), you

must re-create and re-distribute the SDP file.

Multicast

Multicast is used for broadcast to any computer on your local network (not the

internet). To use this feature, you must create and distribute an SDP file to all users on

your local network who want to view the stream.

The Video Address and Audio Address (and related ports) are, effectively, fake

addresses that do not really exist on the local network. This information is stored in the

SDP file so that client applications know where to look for the stream. The default

addresses/ports that Wirecast generates are generally sufficient to use.

To set up a multicast, follow the same steps given for Unicasting. (See Unicast,

immediately preceding.)

Record To Disk

If you want to archive your stream, you can use the Record To Disk destination. The only

setup information required is the filename. If you use Auto Increment Filenames, all files

are saved with a sequential number appended to them.

Windows Media Streaming

Select any WM9 from the encoder presets menu, then select a destination.
