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
