4.13.3 PUSH AND RTMP STREAMING
Browser Based, Windows Media Push and RTMP streaming are slightly more complex,
largely because they depend on external resources to distribute your stream to a
wider viewing audience. These may be provided in house by your organization, or
you may take advantage of a commercial (or advertising sponsored) Content Delivery
Network (CDN).
Arrangements and requirements of various external streaming hosts are diverse, but
TriCaster’s Streaming Configuration panel adapts to provide the necessary input and
information fields for the various types. More detail on these matters, including
connecting to a network and numerous useful tips on streaming strategies is found in
Chapter 18, Streaming.
4.13.4 CAPTURING THE STREAM
Whenever you are streaming your output, TriCaster archives the live stream as a file.
Files are saved to D:\Media\Clips\sessionname\SavedStreams.This is a very useful
feature. Among other things, it allows you to post the captured file to a website
immediately after an event for ‘video on demand’ streaming purposes – for late
arrivals or others who want to review the live event.
Note: Remember to turn off the Stream when your production concludes, or TriCaster will
continue writing the stream capture file.
