Using Streamproducer with a Microsoft® Media Server
Although it is possible to stream video directly to the internet from a Streamcorder or a locally attached computer, if
you need to provide connectivity to more than a few users, you must use a Media Server. There are several
configurations for streaming from a
Streamcorder through a server, some of
which are shown here:
The first scenario uses an intermediate
computer running Streamproducer to
consolidate the video from multiple
cameras. A separate Media Server is
used to stream the single output of
Streamproducer to the Internet.
We have shown a Hub in this figure;
however, if connecting to a single
camera, this is not necessary.
This is the simplest way to stream to
many users, however, this method
requires an intermediate PC and and
multiple network interfaces in both the PC and server. In some instances where physical access to the Media
may be a valid scenario.
Single Computer Implementation
Described below, is a method for configuring a Media Server with Streamproducer to eliminate the need for an
intermediate computer. This can be done either with a second network interface in the server, as discussed here,
or connecting through a switch.
The advantages of this method are obvious...less hardware means lower cost, and fewer things to go wrong!

This is just one example, and the cameras that Streamproducer connects to can be local or anywhere in the world.
