Live Video Streaming from Remote Location?

Hey guys,
I have a semi-off topic question. I have a mac book pro and final cut studio. I need to stream a live video and audio feed from a live event in a few months. This feed has to get to another location in a format so they can stream it live over the internet. I will be receiving a composite video connection to stream. My job is to take the video and get it to the server room for streaming. Here are my three questions:
1) What kind of connection should I request at the event location?
2) How is the best way to get the video into my computer and then stream it?
3) What format is the best and what's the best way to encode it on the fly? Hardware I guess?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. You've already stated they're supplying you with a composite video feed. That would either be BNC (likely) or RCA (not so likely). Since composite video signals are analog, you'll need a DV device (camcorder, VTR or converter) to convert the incoming analog signal to a digital signal.
2. Here's one method: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/delivery.html Also take a look at the Tricaster family of products.

Rtmp live video streaming in ios

Hello all ,
I am trying to play rtmp live video streaming from my app developed in flash builder. The video is played in simulator. On Iphone the video is not played. Its a blank screen. Any idea how to rectify this ?
rtmp used - rtmp://fms5.visionip.tv/live/RT_2 , stream id - RT_2

Well, JMF doesn't support MPEG-4, so you'll want to do whatever you need to do to get the JPEG feed.
The following code should allow you to view the web cam steam:
MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator("rtsp://whatever.blah:1234");
DataSource ds = new DataSource(ml);
Player p = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(ds);
p.start();

Cisco video camera monitoring software from remote location

Hello
What is the best way to use the Cisco video camera monitoring software from remote location.
I am talking about the AVMS / SWVMS software.
I am thinking of either a vpn tunnel or Remote Desktop (Terminal Services).
I would like to use the vpn tunnel, but am afraid that the encryption/decryption of all data will drastically slow down the data throughput.
THanks,
Cliff
CCO: clifford.gormley

Hi Clifford,
Thank you for posting. I use the AVMS software remotely and it works good. At first I changed the http ports of each camera and forwarded those ports in the router. I set up the cameras in the remote AVMS software with the WAN IP address and port number. That worked quite well. I then decided to try to reach the cameras through a VPN tunnel. I found that it worked perfectly and I was able to view up to 6 cameras. Your results will vary depending on how much bandwidth you have at each end. The important thing is the upload speed at the camera end of the tunnel. I have anywhere from 3-4 Mbps at any given time for the upload speed at the camera side and 30-40 Mbps download speed at the AVMS server side. I have also used UltraVNC to view the AVMS server through the tunnel and that worked well. Note that if you view the AVMS software using RDP you will see a black screen where the video should be. This is a limitation of RDP, not the software.
Please reply if you have any questions.

How to play live Video Stream with Flex?

I'm trying to get Flex Builder 3 to play a live video stream with Flash Media
Server and Flash Live Media Encoder.
I'm able to stream pre-recrorded (vod) flvs in flex from flash media server.
I'm able to stream live video using Flash/FMS/Flas Live Media Encoder, but not
with Flex.
This code streams pre-recorded Video on Demand flvs, but not live streams:
If I change source to "rtmp://localhost/live/livesream.flv, I get nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:HBox>
        <mx:Label text="RTMP FMS 2.0"/>
        <mx:VideoDisplay
            autoBandWidthDetection="false"
            source="rtmp://localhost/vod/Legend.flv"/>
    </mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
Oh and sorry for the double post. I didn't know there was a seperate FMS forum.

That worked! Thanks *very* much. Stupid of me to forget to set the live attribute to true. Also removed the .flv. BTW: what video component do you prefer?
Here's the working code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:HBox>
        <mx:VideoDisplay
            live="true"
            autoBandWidthDetection="false"
            source="rtmp://localhost/live/livestream"/>
    </mx:HBox>

Live video stream to both Flash and iOS problem

Hi everyone, I'm Lucas. I Have learnt how to deliver a single live video stream to both Flash and iOS from this video
But after that I got a problem with the ".f4m" file and ".m3u8" file (I think) like this video below here. I don't know what happen with the server because my camera is still working perfectly.
I now using Flash Media Server 4.5
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Try this :
1: stop any stream.
2: go to root_install\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent and delete any .stream file that is in there
3: Go to root_install\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_ any livestream folder that is in there for example if you streamed with name livestream12 there should be a folder with the name livestream12, delete it.
4: Then try streaming a single bitrate stream by adding to the FMLE the following parameters
FMS Url : rtmp://localhost/livepkgr
Stream: livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent
5: go to sample player and add this url to the field : http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m
*If you have a public IP do the following :
1: go to http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/#
and add this url : http://public_ip/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m (replace localhost with your public IP)
and from the advanced tab say that it is live.
Give it a try!

Switching video source for live video streaming

Is it possible to switch the video source from a video
capture card to a standalone video during live video streaming? We
are streaming live TV and we want to skip playing any
advertisements.
If this is not possible, what is the best way skip playing
any advertisements? Do we have to do it at the client player level
i.e. catch an event from the video player and play a predefined
video when the live video stream is stopped?

Thanks for reporting your fix. That news could be very important to those who delete events from their hard drive to save space, but may want to reload them later to do some editing.
It sounds like the key is re-importing with exactly the same name as before.
Just curious: What kind of camcorder? Was it MiniDV tape? Flash? Hard drive? DVD?
It strikes me that with tape it might be difficult to reimport an exact match. If you start on a different frame, the pointers could be off. But if that is not the case, it is very good news.

How do you auto reconnect a live video stream broadcast in flash action script 3?

how do you auto reconnect a live video stream broadcast in flash action script 3?
so i don't have to ask people to refresh the page if the connection drops
i copy pasted the live video stream broadcast files and script from here;

Why don't you use several layers with appropriate alpha properties, and move these layers according to the mouse events?

Live video stream play permission on server-side

I have a live video stream application one-to-many for
example, and i want to send video only to few clients, not to all.
Like:
quote:
application.onConnect = function(client, canSeeVideo) {
// canSeeVideo = boolean
this.acceptConnection(client);
if (!canSeeVideo) client.receiveVideo(false);
// and after this, can be swich to TRUE or FALSE ?
client.receiveVideo(true);
I only want to do restriction for Video, from server-side
with FMS, or if can't be possible.. how can i put for example a
black screen on video ? :) and after can be removed, etc...

1.
necesary client.receiveVideo() and client.receiveAudio()
server-side functions
Thank you fmslove for you trying to help me but
client.readAccess property can NOT be set after client
connection was accepted, and for me is useless. Any other
solution(s) ? i strong recomend to Adobe FMS dev staff to implement
this feature because is refering to security client-side solution
from server-side. I have bad experience with users trying to modify
the Flash Player (plug-in) run memory and set values for my swf
without my accept, and is nothing that i can do from client-side
like NetSream.receiveVideo(false) on many-to-many or one-to-many
live A/V stream.
2.
a necesary server-side video encoder solution better than
Sorenson Spark
If in future FMS staff from Adobe will implement this
necesary security feature on server-side like a copy of
NetSream.receiveVideo() function from client-side, i will be happy
if i see a solution to encode LIVE video stream on server-side
because
Sorenson Spark video encoder built-in Flash Player (plug-in) is
very old and unuseful.
If this can't be possible i hope the future Flash Player
version (10) will have a better video encoder built-in than
Sorenson Spark !!!

Audio several seconds out of sync with live video stream.

I did a live stream last week using 282,482,832,1500Kbps streams. What would cause the audio to get out of sync with the live video stream? I'm trying to determine if it was bandwidth related, cpu/memory issue on the FMIS 4.5 server, or an issue with encoding PC exceeding it's limits?
Thanks,
Dave

Which device are you using? Are audio and video coming from the same device or different devices?
Is it a USB device? Try changing the device and see if there is any difference. Changing bitrates will not affect audio-video sync.

AAC audio causes stuttering in live video stream playback

I am using the Spark VideoDisplay component and setting the mx_internal bufferTime to 0. (videoDisplay.mx_internal::videoPlayer.bufferTime = 0) I am doing this because I need to have the absolute minimum delay in the live video stream. I am broadcasting video files as a live stream using ffmpeg, through Red5, then to the client. ffmpeg is not re-encoding the video or audio. I am using h.264 video format. I have tried encoding videos using Adobe Media Encoder and ffmpeg.
When I have a video stream only and no audio stream this works fine, but when I have an AAC audio channel with the video, I frequently see the video jitter badly. It looks like the video is quickly going forward and back a few frames. When this problem occurs it will go on for some time and sometimes eventualy starts playing normal. When the video is playing normally the audio sounds fine. When I play the videos in a regular media player (like VLC) they play and sound fine. Also if I use an mp3 audio channel I don't see the jittering
Does anyone have any idea what the cause of this problem might be or how it can be resolved?

Ah, yes, I am not serving high-def video myself. H264 is probably better, but my understanding is that you need hardware acceleration to get good performance from it (again, not an expert on the topic, that's just what my understanding has been...)
This document [pdf] may have some usefull info on choosing an optimal encoding for your needs.

Can I see video stream from a website on my tv from my desktop with apple tv

I am trying to watch a weekly video stream from a website using my Mac desktop on my tv with Apple Tv..can I do this?

If your computer is a Mac and new enough (2011+) then maybe. See required specs here:

If you have an older Mac or Windows machine try airparrot.

HT3819 video stream from amazon prime to my TV

i want to video stream from amazon prime to my TV via my ipad, mac book using my apple TV device..

there is no reason to get rid of Apple devices, not when a Chromecast, Roku, or FireTV can be acquired so cheaply.
This is a true statement, but this is a bad option in the long term since your content will be split between different sources, DRM rules, apps, access options, etc. You are going to constantly be running into issues were you want to watch a show that is not available on the device (phone, tablet, etc) you are on. I share "Disgusted_with_apple" frustrations in that Apple has not updated in three years now leaving Amazon FireTV and others with better interfaces and features but having my content locked into Apple's DRM.
Apple was really first to market with a viable TV interface device, and has completely turned the market over to its competitors just by not showing up. And now ATV can not play content, or provide features that ALL of the competitors have. I recently bought an Amazon FireTV and love it. The only advantage Apple has left is the iTunes Store still has more content, but that is not likely to last.

Video Streaming from multiple camera to cell phone.

I have about 5 webcams on a network in a different city. One of these webcams I have been successful at setting up live video streaming to my cell phone. However when I tried to setup and view a second camera (same model), but I cannot get it to successfully load and view. The second camera has a different access code also.
Any Suggestions?

Hi,
Camera are WVC54GCA
Router is a WRT300N.
Like I stated earlier, one of these cams I can stream fine to my backberry storm,(Port 554 is forward to the ip address of the camera) but can't seem to configure the other for cell phone viewing.
All cameras can be viewed via http via computers.

Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
Please help me.

Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.
