Make your On-Demand streaming test a success
Part 1. – What do I need to have in order to do a test?
1. Content
You will need to have some sample content prepared and ready to upload to the NetroMedia server matrix.
Note: The type of content you choose to use for your test will depend on what you plan to use your stream for.
2. An encoding PC
If you are creating On-Demand content you will need a PC that is able to encode the video from whatever source you are using (other files, video camera, DVD player, CD player, etc).
The PC you choose to use as your encoder should use the following guidelines:
- Pentium 4 Processor running at 2.4 Ghz or higher
- 512 Mb of Ram for audio, 1 GB of Ram for video
- Windows XP
- Windows Media Encoder 9
Note: other configurations will work, although this is a good basis to work from when selecting a PC.
3. An internet connection
You will need to be able to upload the videos to your FTP folder on our server.
Note: There is no minimum connection speed necessary to upload your files; however a high-speed connection will allow you to upload your content faster.
