Using Target Disk Mode for Installation on Mac

Posted by Derrick on December 31, 2010 under Video Streaming and Compression | Be the First to Comment

Using Target Disk Mode for installation on a Mac works great.  This can help when you need to install software available on a DVD onto a Mac computer or server that has a CD-ROM. I recently used Target Disk Mode during an on-site Flash Streaming Server installation. This is the second time I had to use the feature for a Streaming Server install an I’m glad Apple created the Target Disk Mode feature.  It is amazing!

Re-streaming IP Cameras Excellent Feature of Wowza Media Server 2

Posted by Derrick on May 5, 2010 under Video Streaming and Compression | Be the First to Comment

Re-streaming IP cameras is a excellent feature of Wowza Media Server 2.  There are so many great features available in the Wowza Media Server and this Flash Streaming Server allows users to do so much.  What’s nice with the Wowza Media Server is you can build applications on top of applications.   For example, you can create an application to re-stream an IP camera and then you can also set that application up for live recording of your IP camera. Here’s what I like about the Wowza Media Server 2.  “You can think of the type of application that you’d like to create for streaming your video content, and then you can try to create it.  It’s great when you can create what you’re thinking about.”, says Derrick Freeman, Instructor and Video Streaming Consultant for Freeman Compression Inc. The key is understanding how the Wowza Media Server 2 works.  To learn more about re-streaming IP Cameras and other featurese of Wowza attend one of our Wowza Media Server 2 Training classes.
