16 Working with QuickTime
Streaming Server
In this chapter you will find commands you can use to
configure and manage the QuickTime Streaming Server
service.
Streaming is the delivery of media, such as movies and live presentations, over a
network in real time. A streaming server sends the media to a client computer, which
plays the media as it is delivered. With streaming, no files are downloaded to the
viewer’s hard disk. This chapter describes the commands used to configure and
manage the QuickTime Streaming Server.
Understanding QuickTime Streaming Server
Mac OS X Server version 10.4 includes the latest version of the popular QuickTime
Streaming Server, providing a complete solution for streaming live and on-demand
media to audiences everywhere. Mac OS X Server makes it easy and affordable to
enhance and extend the reach of your communications with rich video and audio
content.
QuickTime is one of the most versatile, cost-effective platforms for creating, playing,
and streaming digital media over the Internet. It supports all the latest digital media
standards, including H.264, AAC, MP3, MPEG-4, and 3GPP, so your content can be
played anywhere using standards-compliant media players.
