Wowza Media Systems develops high-performance media server software that enables service providers, media properties, enterprises, and other organizations to deliver video and other rich media content to any digital device, including computer, mobile or TV.
The primary function of a streaming media server, used for the purpose of live video streaming, is to receive encoded live video stream from a remote streaming machine, and to deliver it to numerous clients on the Internet.
During the past few years live streaming has become increasingly cheaper and accessible to video production companies. Media server software license costs have been going down to the point where you can easily rent a server instance from Amazon Web Services and a Wowza Media Server license for just a day.
Filming equipment - depending on the size of the event you want to cover, you would need a number of cameras, outputing live video through HD-SDI, HDMI, IEEE 1934 (also known as FireWire and i.Link), or another interface.
Capture equipment - hardware equipment that receives feed from the cameras and inputs it live in the streaming machine. Companies such as Matrox and Blackmagic have a number of products suitable for all types of productions.
Streaming machine - hardware that is used to encode the live video feed and send it to the streaming server or CDN (content delivery network). This could be a PC, MacBook Pro, or specialized encoding hardware.
Streaming media server - one or more streaming servers delivering video feed to all of the clients. This could be a dedicated server, a cloud server, a cluster on Amazon EC2, or else. Alternatively you could use a CDN such as Akamai, Qbrick or other.
There are a number of streaming media servers available on the market. The most prominent of them are Adobe Media Server and Wowza Media Server. There are also open source solutions such as Red5 Media Server. For general purpose live video streaming, all servers provide pretty much the same functionality. The differences come mainly when you need to produce a professional high-end airing. We have chosen Wowza Media Server for our streaming media server provider when producing live webcasts.
