4.6 Using the Setup to Screen a Movie
You use the two PCs on both sides as server and client. The server (PC1-Server)
holds a movie that is going to be viewed from the client side (PC-2 Client). To
screen the movie, you use a streaming application, for example the VLC Media
Player. For brief instructions on using the VLC Media Player, refer to the section
below.
While playing the movie, you may perform various tests outlined in the next
chapters.
Using the VLC Media Player
To transmit and play the movie, you may use any streaming application with an
associated player on the Client PC, although this application assumes the use of
an already installed VLC Media Player on both the Movie PC and the Client PC. A
movie that will transmit at around 1.5 Mbps must be available on the Movie PC.
