VLC Streaming

[MarsRed]

Hi all,

 

So I need to build a video streaming server that will allow faculty to access live video from their computers. I've heard a lot of good things about using VLC for this. I will have 200+ clients connecting simultaneously. My goal is to have several capture cards, each set to a specific cable TV channel, as well as one for internal video feeds.

 

Does anyone have any experience/thoughts/tips to share about this? Specifically, any ideas about capture cards that work with Ubuntu to convert analog video signals? And any ideas about how to send a video signal over the network from the camera's location to the streaming server in the server room?

 

Thanks!
