Mac OS X Server 10.4 Tiger: Visual QuickPro Guide

QTSS is an real-time media delivery server capable of streaming content such as your company's quarterly financials, a video of a rock band's release party for a brand-new album, new employee orientation materials, or training movies required by human resources. A community can even broadcast the unveiling of a new monument live over the Internet.

Beyond the powerful streaming tools, there is one more feature of note in QTSS. Whereas other streaming server solutions require you to pay licensing fees based on the number of viewers connecting to your server, QTSS and DSS apply no "server tax" and do not artificially limit the number of people viewing or listening to your content.

With the top-notch suite of streaming tools and a lack of per-stream or per-user license fees, you can turn your attention toward creating focused and compelling content as opposed to figuring out how to get your streaming server to work.

One note of caution: Please respect the rights of the owners of audio and video material. You should only stream content that you own or for which you have the appropriate copyright approvals. Also, in the case of music tracks from signed recording artists, you should abide by royalty guidelines set down by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, (ASCAP), Broadcast Musicians Incorporated (BMI), or the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).
