bandwidth is really only used for uploading a single stream, you can send a high quality stream,
secure in the knowledge that it will not degrade as soon as a second viewer attempts to see it.
Hint: A helpful way to find a good streaming service provider is to ask other TriCaster users for
recommendations in NewTek’s online discussion forums.
15.2.4 OTHER RESOURCES
If you’re still struggling with the differences between Push and Pull streaming methods, you can
find lots of online resources (in addition to excellent information available in NewTek’s user
forums!)
The popular web resource Wikipedia® hosts many articles on the subject, notably these two:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_technology
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull_technology
Microsoft even hosts an animation on the subject at:
www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/wminaction/streaming_pushpull.asx
(Ignore the detailed discussion of configuring the encoder, and just enjoy the pretty pictures –
your TriCaster makes that part easy for you!)
15.3 PRODUCTION AND CAPTURE CONSIDERATIONS
If you’re not intent on live streaming, but wish to capture a live switching session, you would
likely record at full resolution using the
Record button (rather than Stream ).
The high quality captured files can then be used later in TriCaster’s DDR, edited in SpeedEDIT, or
even be transferred to another computer (even on a different platform) for external processing
or editing.
Hint: use an external hard drive to transfer the files between systems, or simply transfer them
across a local network.
