To stream to a QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server, select an H.264 encoder and select

Announce to QuickTime Streaming Server as the destination:

Host Name Enter the name (or IP address) of the host computer that is running your

streaming server.

File Location The streaming server uses a file on the server to contain the specific

settings for the stream. You need to define the name of that file here. When you send

your viewers the URL for them to use, this file name is a part of that URL. For example, if

the File Location is my_stream and the Host Name is www.stream.com then your

viewers use this URL: rtsp://www.stream.com/my_stream.sdp. This information displays

in the bottom of the window as you configure the settings.

Username/Password Enter the user name and password, if your streaming server

requires it.

Note: This password is saved as plain-text in the Wirecast document.

Broadcast Over TCP Defines whether you are using UDP or TCP to send the data to the

streaming server. This only defines the connection between Wirecast and the

streaming server and has nothing to do with how your viewers receive the broadcast.

UDP is faster, but if you are using a firewall or are behind a NAT, you may not be able to

use UDP and you should use TCP. So, if Wirecast can send UDP to the server without

errors, use it. It is faster.
