Hi all:
We are working on a project to set up some live audio/video feeds from
night clubs in SF to the internet and I need some advice.
This is the first time I will have done this so it needs to be kinda
simple. There are many windoze products that allow you to feed video to
the net, but I would rather stay far away from that.
I want to use FreeBSD for all the reasons you all read this list -- it's
runs like silk and generates good karma.
Requirements:
1. Serve audio and video (close to 30/fps) from machine to the net or
some similar design.
feed 50-200 simultaneous viewers to start
2. We have a nice camera or can buy a new one.
Must have high quality in low light
Will icecast work for the audio?
So, I guess I need hardware suggestions (cards, parallel, serial) and
design suggestions (how to relay the feed, etc.).
Thanks for any help or advice you may have. This is a really great project
and I would love to say the whole thing runs on FreeBSD when people/press
ask ;).
Thanks,
Jon
