Media Streaming

Media streaming server, 2 front end servers (back end app server doubles as the media server). Media streaming has been in Windows Server since 2000, but superb in 2008.

Document library containing the .asx files pointing at the media server. The media (once converted to .wmv) is uploaded to the Media streaming server - with single access point. Create asx file to point at the server.

Licencing query brought up - ERA and ERA plus licencing requirements. Please see http://www.era.org.uk or check with your LA.
