Live broadcast over cable system

I've been using VC for several years now at my middle school. We broadcast via cable live. We don't use the live streaming setup for the internet.
Anyway, I'm setting the system up for this school year (nope! we haven't started yet!) and I'm having trouble.
VC is working just fine. I believe the problem is somewhere in my display setup. When I broadcast, I can see my desktop image, but no icons, and no VC. When I hit "rehearse" which is way we've always done it, sound is broadcast, but not the show. I just continue to see the desktop image.
I would really appreciate any ideas of what I should try. It's been a long time since I set this up -- and it's worked like a dream. But now, no matter what I do, it's just not working!
Thanks in advance!!

Live Broadcast Facility

We are going to be doing a live broadcast. We will be having 2 HD cameras and a video feed from somewhere else as a 3rd source. This will then be distributed live over the internet through Quicktime broadcaster maybe. But we would also like to record each uncompressed camera source preferably without tapes. Is there a suggested workflow system that would allow recording of 2 streams of HD footage from the cameras and the live HD broadcast at the same time? We have an 2TB XServe RAID, 1 XSserve Intel, 1 XServe PowerPc. We can also purchase anything needed to make this happen.
Thanks for the help.

For simultaneous live streaming and record to disk, I would highly recommend looking at Wirecast (www.varasoft.com). We use it for SD and HD stream/recording and it works flawlessly with all flavors of OS X/OS X server and QTSS. Not to say, Broadcaster is excellent for streaming and recording, but it is highly limited (no HD/HDV support, no where near the performance of Wirecast in raw fps)

Simulated Live Broadcast

We're running a stream of a collection of videos that my
company has produced on our site. With Windows Media Services, it
allows us to do what's called a "Simulated Live Broadcast" where we
give it a list of video files, and it plays them in order (like a
playlist). The real benefit with it is that the video files are
"always playing" even when no one is connected to the server, sort
of like on television. So, if I logon at 10:00, i see the beginning
of video 1, and if you logon at 10:05, you will be seeing the same
video that i am seeing, just 5 minutes into it. Sorry for the
longwinded description, just think of it as a television station
that is constantly broadcasting content. Anyway, we want to move
over to FMS, and we were wondering if FMS would support something
like this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
-Ian

Sure... fms can do that. You'd define the list of files on
the server side, and play them across a server-side stream. Then
your clients would connect to that server side stream, and everyone
would be seeing the same thing regardless of when they
connect.

Can I do LIVE broadcasts of sporting events With My MacBook?

I want to broadcast live basketball games for my son's school. I would like to do audio and video broadcasts. I have a 13 inch Macbook Unibody (not Pro). Is this possible? And what extra equipment do I need?
Thanks,
Curt

I am wanting for the public to be able to listen to or watch my son's school's basketball, baseball and football games via their home computer. Currently, no local radio station broadcasts their games because they are a smaller school and there's not enough local advertising to make it attractive to broadcast the games over air.
The Macbook's camera will not be able to film the action on court, as it occurs. I would like to use an external camera and plug it into the USB on the Macbook and then broadcast over the web so people could watch on their computer or listen over iPhone.
Do you know of any Servers that could be used for live broadcasts? I have seen some, but they've said for "Windows" based PC's. I want something Mac compatible.

How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?

How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?
I am attempting to create multiple live USBs within one flashdrive so that i can boot various operating systems without having to buy multiple USb sticks. I am using a Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Operating System currently. I am using the Terminal provided by the OS.
I would like to try Debian, Kali, Precise Puppy, and Sabayon- with one space left empty for whatever Linux OS I would like to try next. I have partitioned an 8GB flashdrive into the following sections:
name of intended OS,     space allocated for it:
1)Debian ........................1.32 GB
2)Kali..............................2.61GB
3)Precise Puppy..............163.7MB
4)Sabayon.......................1.77GB
5)TBD..............................2.14GB
I have figured out how to change the .iso files of the operating systems into .img files with the following commands:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW /path/to/input.iso -o /path/to/output.img
a .img.dmg file is created, this is corrected in the next line of code *please note: I am a a very beginner at programming, and would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!
mv /path/to/output/file.img{.dmg,}
This is where I started to get confused:
I entered diskutil list to find the location of the partitions on my flashdrive, and this is the relevant section:
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *8.0 GB     disk1
   1:                 DOS_FAT_32 DEBIAN               1.3 GB     disk1s1
   2:                 DOS_FAT_32 KALI                    2.6 GB     disk1s2
   3:                 DOS_FAT_32 PRECISE            163.7 MB   disk1s3

   5:                 DOS_FAT_32 TBD                     2.1 GB     disk1s6
This is the code I attempted to use and the subsequent result:
charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m
dd: /dev/disk1s1: Resource busy
*at this point I went to the Disk Utility GUi and unmounted only the DEBIAN partition, now back to the terminal*
charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m

Please may someone help explain why I had a return value of +1 in my records in and how I can make it work properly.

I would like to know the answer to this as well. I tried renaming the 3D version by adding 3D after it, but it still not a separate movie in iTunes.
It's putting them in the same folder.

Live broadcast feed on byu.tv does not work--I signed in, but there is no video nor audio feed.

During all five Sundays during last month, January of 2011, the live broadcast feed, during the live broadcast of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's weekly program of "Music and the Spoken Word" from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Mountain Standard Time--both streaming video and audio--after my signing in to byu.tv's live broadcast site, worked. Starting the first Sunday of February, 2011, which was February 7th, however, and SINCE then, I have not been able to get their live broadcast feed to work, nor at the time of the Tabernacle Choir's live weekly broadcast, nor at any other time.

I want to record a live broadcast from my macbook pro?

I am watchng a live broadcast later today, and wanted to record it for myself. How do I do this?

You'll have to tell us whether this is an online broadcast or a TV broadcast, what you'll be watching it on, and how you're connected to its source.

Apple TV to PC. Cross-over cable or Ethernet?

My apple TV will plug directly into the pc with iTunes. Do I need a Cross-over cable or an Ethernet Cable? And What is the difference? Also How would I do this? Thanks in advance!

I got it in April this year... If I have no internet where I am using it, how do I authenticate it to play? Here I have no internet BUT I have no HDTV here... My house has no Internet but it does have an HDTV! Do I need an HDTV to connect it to iTunes to authenticate it? Or can I use my existing Dial-Up connection to do it.. By using my dial-up connection I mean like Connect it to my laptop, and then connecting my laptop to my dial up connection and opening iTunes and do it like that... Would that work?

Hi Tom,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you moved your SharePoint.
This error occurs when the SharePoint farm administrator cannot connect to your configuration database. Please verify the followings:
Make sure that from the SharePoint front end and application servers that you can ping your SQL server.
Make sure that your Farm account has permission to the configuration database.
Lastly verify that your database didn't for some reasons go into recovery mode.
once everything is fine and you are still having issues, restart the SQL host service on the SQL server. Once the service is restarted you will need to reboot Central Admin and then your front end servers.
In addition, as you built your farm inside the firewall, please disable the firwall, or create rules for SQL Server service in the firwall on SQL server. More information about creating rules in firewall, please refer to the following posts:

Best upgrade for mini to improve live broadcast streaming?

I am using a Mac Mini for live broadcast streaming. I am using Wirecast for the encoding. I am encoding the stream in Flash format and I'm simultaneously recording to hard drive in QT h.264 format. This maxes out my 2 GHz Core 2 Duo mini with 4GB RAM. I am trying to decide how I might improve my setup for optimal performance. For example:
1) Should I replace the 5400 RPM internal hard drive in the Mini with a 7200 RPM drive and continue to run the broadcasting and recording as before but now with the faster drive? In other words, would I expect meaningful gain by simply upgrading to a faster internal drive?
Or:
2) Should I add an external 7200 RPM 800 Firewire HD to the Mini? If I do this what would be the best way to utilize the faster drive--
a) Booting the mini from the faster external drive and recording to the external drive and essentially "ignore" the internal drive?
b) Boot from the internal drive and use the external drive for recording the movies?
And would utilizing the single FW 800 port for the HD interfere with capturing video from my FW camcorder? (I'd need to add a FW hub or daisy chain the two devices).
I guess what I am really asking is this-- Will I have better efficiency in performing simultaneous encoding and recording by off-loading part of the work to a second hard drive?
I assume that the encoding of the broadcast stream is determined by the CPU and is independent of the hard drive configuration.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
John

I admit that I'm not familiar with your particular application and setup, but I will say that the fastest connection to the hard drive in the Mini is via the internal SATA. A 7200 RPM 2.5" drive should be faster than a firewire external.
Keep in mind that drives slow down as they get closer to full .. so for best performance try to keep as much free space as possible. A drive that is 50% full will be a lot faster than one that is 80-90% full.
It might be useful to look at Utilities > Activity Monitor and see whether you are having a high pageout-to-pagein ratio, or whether you are strictly CPU or I/O bound.
BTW to take advantage of the fast SATA connection, some folks have run eSata from inside their Minis to allow connection of 3.5" eSata drives, which would be the fastest conventional drive for a Mini.
Others have replaced the DVD drive with a Solid-State Disk Drive, for the absolute fastest (though size limited) setup.

Advantages of CTS+ over File system transport

Hello experts,
I have searched a lot on SDN ,but couldn't find a document which exactly explains the advantages and disadvantages of CTS+ over File system Transport basically a table with points and the status of those points with CTS+ and File System Transport.
Can you please help.
Best Regards,
Shweta

The enhanced Change and Transport System (CTS+) enables you to transport Portal/Java objects and SAP-related non-ABAP applications in your system landscape, along with your ABAP objects. You can also administer non-ABAP systems in a CTS transport domain in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/ec25370fdc3481e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
You can integrate NWDI with CTS+ and have the transports moved through CTS+.
Also, you utilize CTS+ for portal related transports as well.
To start with, have a look at the following How to guides:

AS3 - 1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place; 2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true - ActionScript 3 - flash cs3 cs4

Hi folks,
Ronny's here again on forums, having particularly 2 (two) questions/problems to resolve:
1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place
2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true
attached is the .zip file (as3_Countdown Timer_ver 1.0.1_by Ronny Depp.zip) with all flash source files containing:
a) The FLash Source (file: timer_module.fla) - (FLA flash source file - Flash CS3 Professional, Flash Player 9, actionscript 3.0)
b) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement package including 2 .as actionscript 3.0 Class files.
       i) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.DateAndTimeManager Class in the said package. (file: DateAndTimeManager.as)
       ii) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.CountdownTimer Class in the package. (file: CountdownTimer.as)
c) The compiled SWF file version of this Application's blueprint. (file: timer_module.swf).
What i need to confirm is: ........................................................ see the next post of mine. (for Problems need to be Resolved)

Problems to Resolve:
Problem#1) - Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place.
Problem#2) - Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true;
Problem#1 Description:
I need to pinpoint the Logical TimeSync Exception, i am still unable to figure out. That is I'm using a webservice in my Application to Synchronize the Time with the actual ET (eastern time) with accomodation of auto-adjustment for EDT GMT-4 (eastern daylight time) & EST GMT-5 (eastern standard time), times. I am using the zipcode: "10012" to pass it to the Web Service in urlRequest object, to retrieve the Current ET eastern time according to EDT & EST time settings for Manhattan/Brooklyn areas or others within New York, NY 10012.
Currently the Web Service is returning accurate date/time based on local EDT GMT-4 daylight time.
Is there some defined set of dates for EDT & EST times for New York region that I can check for to ensure the correct Dates/Times for Eastern Time in New York area ??? I am using NY zipcodes because i am sure to get correct ET values.
The Major Problem Part: is I need to correct the time by 2 seconds or approx. 2 secs, some millisecs.
When I retrieve the Time Value from WebService, it lags behind for 2 seconds as compared to DateObj i create using computer's local time, on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Automatic Updates turned-on. And I'm sure about my Windows will be having latest updates for Time Management already installed. I also added the 2 secs. to the TimeSync(ed) Date to make correction to this Date obj.
I call my custom fucntion addSeconds(dateObj:Date, secs:int) to add 2 seconds to the Date by Converting Seconds to Milliseconds.
Please comb through the as code in files attached and Help Me Out !!!
Problem#2 Description:
Secondly I need to Detect the End of Stream state while using FLVPlayback component, an rtmp:// live Stream from FLASH MEDIA SERVER.
I need to Play a YuMe Post-Roll Ad when Steam Finishes/Ends.
Live Broadcast Stream Event starts every night on Wednesdays & Saturdays exactly at 10:59 PM EDT GMT-4.
Live Events only Streams/Broadcasts the stream for 50secs. exactly. When [playback stopped] it plays a PostRoll Ad and after the CountdownTimer again comes back to life. The Next upcoming Event is calculated & the Countdown begins until Next Event's time/date is reached.
Here is the code on the frame 1 on the MainTimeline: (rest of the params like source, volume, skinAutoHide are Set using Property Inspector for FLVPlayback instance on Stage)
//myStream instance of FLVPlayback is on the Stage
myStream.isLive = true;// Frame 1 Actions in the FLA
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onEndOfStream);
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onState);
myStream.addEventListener(String(VideoError.NO_CONNECTION), onStreamError);
myStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
/*if(myStream.stopped){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
} else if(myStream.state == VideoState.STOPPED){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
function onStreamError(event:VideoError) {
     trace(event.code + "\n\t" + event);
function onState(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function onEndOfStream(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());

               break;

AMSCHECK doesn't seem to receive all data in live broadcasting.

Hi,
I'm testing AMS for live broadcasting with AMSCHECK. A Flash program published a video stream at around 400Kbps. Using a Flash-based viewer, the reproduced image was fine and the AMS administration console reported the out-going bit rate was about 400Kbps per viewer (normal). Then using AMSCHECK to receive the same stream, the AMS administration console reported it was 50Kbps (of course it should have been 400Kbps). Looking at access.00.log and calculating the average streaming bitrate from the 'duration' and 'sc-stream-bytes', they corresponded to the values reported by the monitor. And changing the source configuration and increasing the stream bitrate to about 1Mbps, again AMSCHECK seemed to receive only 50Kbps. For making our stress check meaningful, we need AMSCHECK receives all the data being broadcasted. Is there any way for AMSCHECK to receive all the steam in live broadcasting?
Note that we used a modified 'livepkgr' as the application.
Thanks,
Yoichi
