The OSCAR is the first H.264 encoder appliance designed by HaiVision specifically for QuickTime environments. It natively supports the RTSP streaming media protocol. The OSCAR can stream directly to QuickTime supporting up to full D1 resolution (full standard definition resolution or 720 x 480 NTSC / 576 PAL) at video bit rates up to 1.5 Mbps. The OSCAR supports either multicast or unicast RTSP sessions. With either, up to 10 separate destination streams can be generated by a single OSCAR encoder (more at lower bit rates). So, on a college campus for example, this simple, compact, rugged appliance can be placed virtually anywhere and with a simple network connection can stream video to any QuickTime client on the local network or over the WAN. If more than 10 QuickTime clients need to view or access the video, the OSCAR can be directed to a QuickTime Streaming Server which can typically host well over 1000 clients > -----Original Message----- > From: Brandon Galbraith [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 1:51 PM > To: Joe Abley > Cc: [email protected]; Joe Greco > Subject: Re: [Nanog] ATT VP: Internet to hit capacity by 2010 > > On 4/22/08, Joe Abley <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > On 22 Apr 2008, at 12:47, Joe Greco wrote: > > > > >> You mean a computer?
