Foreword
Congratulations on the purchase of your Niagara
®
Pro streaming media encoder! You are the
fortunate owner of a state-of-the-art streaming media system. Now you can capture and stream your
audio and video content over the Internet or any local or wide area IP network. All you need is your
audio and video source (such as a camera or deck) a streaming media server or hosting provider, and
an IP connection to your viewing audience.
For a complete overview on streaming audio and video over an IP network, go to the section entitled
Introduction and read the Streaming Infrastructure section. This will explain how streaming media
works.
Niagara Pro is an easy-to-use streaming device. You simply connect your audio and video source to
Niagara Pro, select your target playback device, enter your streaming server information, and press
the Stream button. You’re streaming live!
Niagara Pro can be configured and used straight out of the box for most streaming uses. For more
advanced settings or controlling your Niagara Pro from another networked computer, you will use
Niagara SCX Web Interface.
The front panel of your Niagara Pro streaming media encoder can be customized using the Niagara
Pro Configuration Web browser interface. This configuration tool also provides the ability to set
many other system parameters for your Niagara Pro device.
We hope you enjoy your Niagara Pro streaming media encoder!
