LEADTOOLS Video Streaming SDK Module
The LEADTOOLS Video Streaming SDK Module is perfect for developers who
need to stream video or audio across the Internet or via intranet. This
Multimedia SDK module offers an unsurpassed
multimedia experience at a toolkit level while at the same time reducing
bandwidth requirements by taking advantage of LEAD´s video and audio codecs.
With the LEADTOOLS Video Streaming SDK Module you can stream multimedia
files using a standard IIS web server or with Microsoft Media
Server using LEAD's H.264 DMO encoder.
Developers can also use the Video Streaming SDK Module to create a
variety of client/server applications using several different
configurations. For example, applications can be created where
you have a single server sending audio/video to multiple clients, i.e.
multicast or web cast for Web broadcasting. Additionally,
security/surveillance applications can be created where you have multiple
capture points sending video to a single source.
For information on streaming MPEG-2 transport video through UDP ports, see the LEADTOOLS MPEG-2 Transport Module.
