audio and video streaming, equipment, and centos 4
by Robert Hanson 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

greetings... and a heartfelt happy upcoming new year to everyone! scenario: company wants to stream realtime audio and/or video streams of their meetings i have done "a decent amount" of research on the necessary server side software to integrate into centos. not sure i like all that i see though. since the company is on about a 1.5 meg circuit i would expect to hook the equipment into a small centos box at the church which would forward a single stream to a centos server i have at the pop and feed all the client streams from where the bandwidth is. that is, if i am understanding everything correctly. so i felt it best to check the wisdom of the list on those already doing this for the church or other private or commercial entities. may i enquire as to what you are using for the server software? and, may i ask what *specific* hardware for audio and video devices you are using to do this please? something reasonably affordable? any extra guidance or instructions i should be researching or studying to implement this? if you find this is too OT and you wish to reply off list i would be happy to post to the list at a later date the results of the research and implementation i thank you in advance and kind regards, - rh -- Robert Hanson - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net
