Use live-record for Recording Live Streaming with Wowza

Posted by Derrick on September 17, 2010 under Video Streaming and Compression | Be the First to Comment

Use the live-record Stream Type for Recording Live Streaming with Wowza.  This is a method of recording that you’ll use if you’d like to have your Live Streaming events recorded server side.  Now if you’re using a Live Encoding tool such as Wirecast you can do the recordings directly on your Live Encoder.  However, recording server side is better because you don’t have to upload your Live Streaming recordings to your Wowza Media Server 2 later.

If you’d like to get a  better understanding of  the live-record Stream Type for Wowza Media Server 2 attend one of our  1-Day Wowza Media Server 2 Training classes.  Call Freeman Compression Inc. at 407.477.5837 for more information or E-mail us at info@freemancompression.com.

Recording Presentations with Keynote and PowerPoint using Wirecast

Recording presentations with Keynote and PowerPoint using Wirecast is simply amazing.  The folks at Telestream have an amazing tool on their hands and the way that Desktop Presenter works is really cool.  If you have Desktop Presenter on your workstation with Keynote or PowerPoint, your presentation can be brought up on a separate computer running Wirecast.   What’s nice is you can have several Desktop Presenters going within your Wirecast application.  So if you wanted to have 5 different presenters speak during a Webcast or Video Recording you could have all 5 PowerPoint or Keynote presentations displayed at the appropriate time.
