Darwin Streaming Server
What Is Darwin Streaming Server?
Darwin Streaming Server (DSS) is a technology that lets you deliver media over the Internet
in real time. With streaming, your users can tune in to broadcasts of live or prerecorded
media, or they can view prerecorded media on demand. Users see streamed media as soon
as it reaches the computer; they don’t have to wait to download files.
Here are some of the key features of Darwin Streaming Server:
m
Skip Protection, available when streaming clients are using QuickTime 5, protects streams
from disruptions and congestion on the Internet, resulting in higher quality.
m
Two schemes of authentication, Digest and Basic, provide flexibility in controlling access
to protected media.
m
The playlists feature lets you easily stream a set of media files as if it were a live broadcast.
This can be ideal for creating and managing a virtual radio station.
m
Web-based administration allows you to easily configure and monitor your streaming
server both locally and remotely.
m
A relay allows you to set up a hierarchy of several layers of servers to broadcast streams to
a virtually unlimited number of clients.
