X-Sender: netcmd@mckenzie.waystation.com To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Live audio/video streaming w/ FreeBSD Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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 ;).
