Streaming

So the announcement of the new Apple TV has my mind wandering, and I wanted to bounce some ideas off you guys to see what you thought.

I currently maintain a large number of QC displays that are used for a networked enabled metrics and infographic display. I'd like to expand my installation base, and one of the things that always comes up is the price on Mac hardware for an installation. Up until recently I've been able to get around this due to the facility that I work in, we have a large number of MacBook and MB Pro's that I've been able to re-purpose. We've gotten to the point now that several business types would like to use the same QC installation that we have at our facility, but at another location.

My idea is this. For simplicity's sake, would it be possible to A) have a QC plugin that either streamed, or interfaced with something like QTSS/DTSS from the active composition, or B) kludge or hack something using a screencap program (audio as well preferably) that could kick over something to QTSS or Quicktime Broadcaster..

This would be so I could abstract everything away from the need of maintaining a machine and OS per installation, just creating a straight video stream that could be loaded on any OS.

Ideas?

Adobe FMLE 3.1 for Mac has been released. It's freeware. FMLE 3.1 enables high definition encoding and streaming in the H.264 and VP6 codecs. By also integrating third party virtual cam tools with quartz compositions, those compositions can be streamed in HD to sites such as Ustream, Livestream, Justin.tv, etc.

See 'Streaming With Quartz Composer' on the Kineme Wiki for additional streaming details and resources.

Hi there, I am building a college project that is a real time video editing system using content from mobile phones for input.

One of the options open to me is to use a live video sharing website like Qik (http://qik.com/) to stream to Quartz Composer and then control from Max/Msp. I'm using Max as its takes care of the audio processing for me. From Qik I can get information to use their embedded player.

Do you know how I can go about doing this in QC? I've started using it a couple months ago and like the results I got. I think it is perfect to deal with the visual side of my project.

If anyone can give me input I'd be very grateful
