Bird box streaming server question

Hi all,
We are a wildlife project and have just bought many bird box cameras from a UK company for our important research project. We want to stream the nest box footage across our intranet and extranet. My question is which CISCO server, managment system should we go for as we are planning to live stream upto 10 nest box cameras? The aim is that the bird box footage will help show all visitors to the website on what happens in nest boxes.If anyone can help, many thanks in advance. Phil J

Hi Phil,
Are all these bird boxes/cameras in one area? If yes, you connect the cameras to encoders and the encoders connects to a switch via 10/100/1000 copper. The switch could be a 3560 or a 3750 with 48 ports 10/100/1000 copper and  depending on the model 2 fiber 1Gig or 10Gig uplinks.
You would need to run Multicast to stream the data from the cameras to a web server.

  • Quicktime Streaming Server Question

    Hi, I'm not sure where to post this (as I am new to this forum) but I have a question which I hope someone can answer.
    I am writing a web application that adds scheduling capability to the QTSS server at the company I am working for. It works well, except it seems the QTSS needs to be updated with the new playlist file.
    Basically what happens is I tell my app to play a 3gp movie at a certain time, so when that time arrives, it appends it to the playlist file (lets say movies.playlist). When I enter into the QTSS Web admin page's playlist editor, it shows the correct entry, etc. but the server just skips my movies that I've automatically added.
    Does anyone know what I should do to update the QTS Server?
    Thanks

    Sorry but I think I was impatient when I wrote that.
    After monitoring the .upcoming file, I saw the new entries appear after a while.
    You can modify the .playlist file at runtime without updating QTSS. It will read that file automatically after a while.
    It seems to work fine now.
    Thanks

  • Bird box camera footage - Export question

    Hi all, I have just got a bird box camera and recorded a lot of footage of birds. I am now in the process of editing the nest box footage with Premier Pro. My question is, what is the best format to export to the web? The footage is excellant and around 10MB. Ideally, I would like the footage to be viewed on most browers. I have tried AVI, MPEG etc. Shall I be looking at flash streaming instead. Hopefully, with the correct format, most people can view my nest box footage without any problem. Please can anyone advise. JF

    Flash seems to be the number 1 choice, followed by WMV (not easily viewed on MAC's).
    It was raining cats and dogs when the two friends, that were playing golf arrived at the 14-th hole. One said to his friend: "Look at that bird-watcher over there. Can you imagine bird-watching in this kind of wheather?"

  • I keep getting the little blue box with the question mark

    Hi
    I have 10.6.7 system software and my safari is 5.0.4
    I have called apple twice with this problem already but nothing has helped except for short times.
    I have reset safari about one dozen times and when I do I reset the top 7 items and I've emptied the cache in addition just in case. I've also taken my safari preference plist out of my library and trashed it.
    And I've run disk utilities many times and restarted my computer. Each thing I do will solve the problem for a short time, even up to a day or more (or less) but then it comes back. For instance on Facebook maybe 1/8th of the thumbnail images have the little blue boxes with the question marks but most don't. I can't figure it out. Sometimes even the iPAD safari gets them too but my firefox doesn't show them and neither does Safari on my eMac.
    Yesterday the question marks even showed up in ONE mailing on all 3 computers with the question marks in the blue boxes (meaning my iMac, my eMac and my iPad) but then it just all resolved after a few hours. This does sound like possibly a server problem except today it's happening (in Safari again) only on this iMac in Safari (not firefox) and not on the other two devices.
    One more thing, since they changed my radio on the roof for my wireless internet, the 5.8 phone cuts out the internet when I use it. The problem has gotten worse since they changed the radio to the same frequency as the phone, it's a much faster service than the 2.4 radio. I don't know if this is related or not.
    Thank you,
    Martha

    <Contact your ISP.
    Is it possible, Carolyn, that this would mainly and almost always be only affecting the iMac and Safari in the iMac if it were a server issue? Right now Safari has more blue boxes with question marks than ever and the eMac and iPad have none. Firefox on the iMac has none also.
    I should try a direct connection and by pass the router and see if that makes a difference.
    I will contact them tomorrow but I want to get clear in my head first all the facts and possibilities.
    Thanks!

  • QT Broadcasting through media server question

    Hey all,
    My question is this: does anyone know how (if its even possible) to use QT Broadcaster on MANUAL UNICAST to webcast to users connecting to a media server?
    for instance: G5 ---> media server <----user
    <----user
    <----user etc.
    I have been trying to set up the webcast as such: creating a manual unicast .sdp with the IP address of the media server contained within. upload the .sdp to the media server where the users will find it and connect to the stream.
    So far, all I get on the client side is a QT window that says, "Live Broadcast" and "ready".
    If the clients connect to the stream through the media server (which has its own static IP that matches the one in the .sdp) shouldn't they be able to view the webcast?
    Any and all thoughts are most appreciated.

    Using Manual Unicast:
    Manual unicast is a method of broadcasting that requires you to export an SDP file from QuickTime Broadcaster to one receiving computer identified by its IP address. The receiving application can be a single QuickTime Player or QuickTime Streaming Server or Darwin Streaming Server. If the receiving application is QTSS or DSS, the broadcast is reflected and no longer limited to a single IP address.
    To broadcast via Manual Unicast:
    If necessary, click Show Details in the QuickTime Broadcaster window, and in the Network pane choose a preset.
    Choose Manual Unicast from the Transmission pop-up menu, and enter the IP address of the receiving computer (or accept the default IP address of your own computer if broadcasting to yourself as a test), the audio port and video port numbers (or accept the defaults if broadcasting one-to-one), and the buffer delay (or accept the default).
    If desired, also enter information in the Annotation section.
    Click Broadcast, and then choose Export from the File menu and SDP or Movie from the Export submenu.
    Specify a name for the SDP or movie file and click Export.
    If the file is exported directly to a QuickTime Player, the viewer opens the file using "Open Movie in New Player" to view the broadcast. If the file is exported to QTSS or DSS, the viewer instead uses "Open URL in New Player." Talk to your QTSS or DSS administrator to determine the correct URL.
    Viewing a QT broadcast:
    Your audience can view your live broadcast using either QuickTime Player or a web browser with the QuickTime Plugin. You determine how users will see the broadcast by distributing an announcement movie file, which is needed by QuickTime Player to "tune in" to your broadcast, or by creating a Web page that refers to the movie file.
    For best results, your viewers should use QuickTime 6. QuickTime Broadcaster streams can be viewed using versions as early as QuickTime 4, but some viewers may not be able to watch your broadcast if you choose compression methods that are not available in the older software.
    When viewers connect to your stream, progress messages appear about connecting, negotiating, and buffering, then the stream begins playing. Viewers can pause or stop the broadcast, but when they resume they'll jump to the current moment if they're watching a live broadcast.
    If viewers are watching an archived (or prerecorded) broadcast, they will be able to pause, rewind, or skip ahead using the QuickTime controls.
    Annotating your broadcast:
    You can add a title, copyright, and other annotations to your broadcast.
    If necessary, click the Show Details button in the QuickTime Broadcaster window. Then click the Network tab and fill in the desired fields under Annotations.
    Your audience can view this information by choosing Show Movie Info from the File menu in the QuickTime Player application.
    About Instant-On streaming:
    Viewers watching a streaming video with QuickTime 6 will benefit from Instant-On, an advance in Apple's patent-pending Skip Protection technology that dramatically reduces buffer, or wait, time for an instantaneous viewing experience. Viewers can click around or scrub video as if it was on their hard disk.
    Users must have a broadband connection to experience Instant-On. The responsiveness of Instant-On is affected by available bandwidth and size, or data rate, of the content. It can also be affected by the codec used. Hinted movies made using the QDesign Audio codec, for example, may not be Instant-On capable.
    Choosing a broadcast method:
    The size of your expected audience determines how you deliver the broadcast.
    For example, when broadcasting a live event to only one QuickTime Player, QuickTime Broadcaster can send a single stream using Mac OS X without server software.

  • On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

    On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

    I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

  • Where did the Quicktime streaming server go??

    It looks as if the Quicktime streaming server is gone for good - apparently it is not part of the Lion server install, and it can't be found on the Apple web site either. There is a page for it, but it doesn't actually provide any useful information.
    Does anyone has any idea what happened to this technology?

    Hello! I said... I want the ability to input analogue video into my camcorder so I can continue to transfer VHS and input and record video from other sources. The new HD cameras on the market will not allow you to record video from any source except for the lens.
    I have HD cable box. I want to record my HD programs from cable (HBO, Starz, etc) to my camera, download the video to my Mac from the camera and then edit them in iMovie and create professional looking movie DVD's in iMovie.
    iMovie HD can work with mini DV HD cameras and HD video. I was not aware of a system requirement for working with HD content.

  • Create a Flash-DVD with videos on a streaming server

    Hello
    As I am new to this forum, I hope I found the best place for my question. I have rented a few GB's on a streaming server, becouse I plan to open a little website with dancing videos on it. I have Adobe premiere pro cs4 to cut my video and encore to build a dvd. Since the dvd menu is quite practical I would like to use encore to place exactly the same project on my servers. This is how far as i got: I changed the script file so that my flash files got uploaded to my streaming server. I loaded the index.html, flashdvd.swf and AuthoredContent.xml onto my webserver, but nothing works..... I know that my streamingserver uses Wowza software... could this be the problem? Do I need a Adobe Streaming Server???
    If you want to check the files, please don't hesitate to see www.dance-tv.ch/swidako'09/index.html This is the "progressive download" version of the project, but it seems to have the same problem as the one on the streaming server.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you
    Oliver

    A PNG sequence can be used if you will go through the Flash authoring app itself to add interactivity, for example. If not, or in either case, you can create a FLV (Flash video) file with alpha. This can be used directly with the Flash player on the web.
    Just pull the key with Keylight, and when it's done, Add the Comp to the Render Queue, set the Output Module's channels to RGB+Alpha and then pick Flash Video (FLV) as format, with one of the Flash 8 presets. The preset will instruct you in the comment field to adjust the stretch settings in the Output Module to the size specified by the preset.
    For more information, see Render and export a Composition as an FLV or F4V file in After Effects Help.

  • All graphics in Pages document are now boxes with "?" question marks.  Help!!  Urgent!!

    Created a 150 page document on one computer with Pages 09 and saved to the desktop.  Put onto a flash drive and transferred to another computer.  Opened it with Pages 09, made modifications, and saved back onto the flash drive.  Transferred document to original computer, overwrote original file, and now all the graphics in the document have been replaced with boxes with a question mark inside it.  Went back to the document on the flash drive, it is the same way.  Opened the document on the "other" computer and it is the same way.  Have searched Support and the User Guide to find an answer and cannot.  This is a dissertation that has to mailed out like now.  How do we fix?

    I am just an end user like you so I don't know why. I have not heard about this problem before or I might have when people have tried just save on a server instead of their own computer. The person that just opened the document from the USB stick and saved back on should have first transferred the document to his/hers computer, then worked on it and saved it and THEN copy it over to the stick.
    Use CDs instead for transferring files or emails. That is much safer.
    Another thing some people has to learn it the hard way!

  • General query regarding the implementation of a Flash Streaming Server

    Hey lads,
    I'm looking at setting up an Adobe Flash Streaming Server at
    work. It will be used primarily to stream training videos across
    our Intranet - we have ~1000 users at the moment, with the capacity
    to expand to ~2000). We are looking at both filming with a camera
    and screencasting (using either
    Camtasia or Adobe
    Captivate) and then encoding to .FLV
    Camtasia can encode directly to FLV, however I'm not too sure
    of the quality, so the Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder looks like a
    good option too. For the time being we will just be concentrating
    on the screencasting though.
    The good thing is i can download a development server for
    free from Adobe which gives me complete access with just a
    restriction on the amount of users that can access the content
    (10).
    From what i can gather the (simple) way it works (and that
    I want it to work) is that you have a standard template SWF
    file containing relevant actionscript (sitting in most probably in
    a html/php/asp/ect file on the webserver), which then calls the FLV
    file from the flash server and streams the content to the clients
    PC. I assume i will pass a variable to the SWF file (the video ID i
    want), and that will then be used to call the corresponding FLV
    file.
    So effectively a YouTube website, i.e:
    watch?
    v=WjK6wNIWzts
    I just wanted to know if anyone had any general tips on how i
    should approach this? Obviously quality vs file size will be a big
    point - deciding on a standard FLV format will be a mission,
    however i do have the benefit of an internal network so can anyone
    recommend some good encoding tips? I was actually thinking of
    encoding a low quality and high quality version, but i don't think
    that's really sustainable/effective.
    There is a bit of documentation around for this, but they
    tend not to answer the basic questions. Am i heading in the right
    direction?
    Thanks for your help :)

    If you are not able to find older version of connector on Metalink then raise an SR with Oracle and give proper Business Justification for the same.

  • How to create a Playlist in flash Streaming Server

    Hi all,
            am new in the flash streaming server. I download the Flash streaming server and install it its work fine.
    I want know about the following question:
              how to stream the video using playlist?
              What is the format of the playlist?
              can i create a playlist from visual studio.Net and pass the value to the player?
    awaiting your reply,
    Thanks in advance.

    If you have bought Streaming Server License - you want to be able to create any server-side playlists as you cannot write you own customized code on Streaming Server.
    However what you can do is create client-side playlist using client-side code, place all your files in media folder of VOD and use them in your playlist. Playlist is nothing but set of plays which are queued up so you just need to issue NetStream plays with last parameter "reset" set to false - this is so that you do not reset your previous play.
    So it would be like
    ns.play("abc",0,20,true);
    ns.play("xyz",0,30,false);
    ns.play("uvw",0,20,false);

  • JMF with streaming server like darwin

  • Darwin streaming server

    I can't find a discussion area dedicated to Quicktime or Darwin Streaming Server technologies, so since I am working on a MacBook Pro I'll put my initial question here... if anyone wants to direct me to a more appropriate forum, please do!
    The problem: I have gone through the Darwin Streaming Server installation process (using Apple's provided installer for v5.5.5) and no errors were reported until the server setup part (via Safari). At that point I was informed that the server had not started as it should have, as part of the installation. I have tried manually launching the QuicktimeStreamingServer executable from Terminal, but it gives me the error "Bad executable (or shared library)".
    Any help welcome!
    Thanks...

    Hi Matt,
    I spent a few hours troubleshooting this since I got the same error message. Giving up, I decided to download an earlier version:
    http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/streaming/release/DarwinStreamingSrvr5. 5-OSX.dmg
    Version 5.5 was able to install correctly and immediately took me to the Darwin Streaming Server Admin url.
    I'm using 10.5.1 on a power pc [intel dual core]
