Live TV Streaming to iPhone - George Bray

This “How To” recipe builds a transcoder to process live multicast streams into live and on-demand streams suitable for iPhone and similar devices.

This single-stream example uses a multicast transport stream containing MPEG-2, but could easily use a multicast or unicast stream in a different format. This example runs on Xserve and MacPro machines, it’s a requirement that mediastreamsegmenter runs on OS X.

Multicast Ready for Comeback

The multicast protocol for adding broadcast-like functionality to the Internet has been around for nearly two decades. Various technical limitations, however, have impeded its widespread adoption. Could it be making a comeback?

Yes, if for no other reason than the advent of IPv6, which activates IP multicast by default. It may also gain traction by way of secure multicast for advanced repeating of television (SMART), a technology developed by Ventura CA-based startup Worldcast.

An early investor in Worldcast was Ray Miller, a Cable Television Pioneer, past chairman of the NCTC, a director of the Outdoor Channel and current chairman of Country Cablevision. Miller said he believes that multicast has the possibility of turning the traditional cable television programming distribution model on its head.
