station.

a virtually unlimited number of clients.
The QuickTime Suite of Products

to produce, transmit, and receive streamed media. Each product is designed from start
to finish for optimum compatibility with all the other components in the suite.

abundance of media authoring capabilities. You can capture audio and video, create
slideshows, encode video and audio, edit movie tracks, create hint tracks, create

Included with Mac OS X Server, QuickTime Streaming
Server (QTSS) software enables you to deliver live and on-demand media in real time

have to wait to download files.

Server supports popular enterprise platforms such as Linux, Windows Server 2003
and Solaris. It is available for download in source and can be compiled on a variety of

download from the Apple website). QuickTime Broadcaster supports most codecs
supported by QuickTime.
