WM-Pull From Server

Wirecast User Guide | 104730

This option turns your local computer into a mini Windows Media Server, enabling you

to broadcast immediately. There are, however, some limitations:

1. User Requirement You cannot have more than 50 users connected at any one

time.

2. Bandwidth Requirement You must have enough bandwidth on your Wirecast

computer to supply all of your viewers.

3. CPU Requirement Since the Wirecast computer is acting as a server the CPU must

be fast enough to handle all of the user connections.

The largest issue is with this method is bandwidth. If, for example, all of your viewers

are on a local network (a business or school), then you should be able to use this

method. However, if you have a DSL connection to the internet and you want to

broadcast a 200k stream to 20 viewers, you may not have enough upload bandwidth to

accommodate this.

Note: Be aware that when you use Wirecast with an internet connection what matters

is your upload bandwidth. Most ISP businesses offer packages that have a higher

download than upload bandwidth (e.g., a 512k DSL package is often only 256k

upload).

Configuration Settings

To use the Network-Pull from Server option, set the port number that your users use to
