(RTSP) on-demand streaming of MPEG-4 for QuickTime. Only QuickTime and Darwin Streaming
Servers are supported for streaming MPEG-4 for QuickTime content.
Saving the Media server configuration checks that the server is available at the specified server
address and displays the server type, if the information is available. Unicast live streaming from
QuickTime or Darwin servers (RTSP announce) is also tested when the Media server configuration is
saved.
You can set up a Media server configuration for a QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server to do live
and/or on demand streaming. There are two options for configuring the Media server for live MPEG-4
for QuickTime streaming:
Live unicast streaming: This requires an external QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server to
relay streams to clients.
Live multicast streaming: This does not require an external QuickTime or Darwin Streaming
Server to relay streams to clients - the multicast stream is sent directly from the Content Server.

Multicast delivery is generally used for
broadcasting live streams on a corporate
network and only works if all routers on the
network are multicast enabled.
