Other FAQ's from Polycom re Streaming:
- How does one broadcast or stream a video call from a Polycom, TANDBERG, LifeSize or Sony videoconferencing system?
- Most vendors systems FAQ's show a complex and limited solution that normally does not work for the internet or with the popular Widows Media Player. In contrast our VSS system gives you a powerful and easy solution for liver broadcast over the web.
- What media player Plug-in are supported for viewing Video conferences that are streamed from the ViewStation FX or VS4000?
- Streaming from videoconferencing systems normally works only on LAN's with Apple QuickTime Player and Cisco IP/TV viewer (and not the popular Windows Media Player). "In general, streaming using IP multicast does not work across the Internet. It is usually restricted to a local area network (LAN). This is because most routers on the Internet do not pass multicast data. To stream to someone on the Internet, the person's unicast address must be specified." In contrast our Video Streaming Solution VSS works with Media Player and over the internet.
