VGA Broadcaster Lite User Guide
Administrators and viewers access the broadcast video stream with a media player
such as QuickTime, VLC or Windows Media Player, or with a web browser that
supports the formats supported by VGA Broadcaster Lite (e.g. motion JPEG, MPEG4
or Flash Video/H.264 compression).
In order to view the broadcast, viewers need the IP address, or DNS name or URL of
the VGA Broadcaster Lite and the optional viewer password. If the viewer password is
configured, the password should be distributed or otherwise communicated to
authorized viewers of the broadcast. URLs or DNS address names are supported
once DNS is correctly configured for your network by your Ethernet network
administrator.
The VGA Broadcaster Lite supports multiple streaming types and configurations. VGA
Broadcaster Lite supports stream over HTTP, RSTP, unicast RTP, multicast RTP and
content distribution network (CDN) broadcast network streaming architectures. Which
architecture you choose to build will depend on your application, the number of clients,
and the network capabilities at your disposal. Please refer to
