Locally hosted streaming media question

[Riesner, Giles W.]

Our College has their own streaming server. The same folks who handle
the College's Cable TV channel also take care of the streaming server.

Our Library has links in our catalog to them as an access point.

 

Currently the streaming video standard for the College is to use WMA and
WMV, and on College PCs Windows Media Player to play them.

They are currently investigating the possibility of changing to H.264
instead which would be more standard and POSSIBLY having an embedded

Video player.

 

If you would like to discuss it further, I can give you contact
information for the person in charge of the server.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Locally hosted streaming media question

 

 

We are developing a pilot streaming media project at North Park
University, and would like input from other libraries that are streaming
now.  We plan to use Quicktime, but wonder what other platforms
libraries are using to stream media locally (not in the cloud).  We
would also like to know if your institution is using a streaming server
or service, and if so which one(s)?   

 

Please reply to Laura Burt-Nicholas at lburt at northpark.edu  and I'll
compile responses to post back to the list if others are interested.

 

Thanks,

 

Laura
