What is a streaming media server? In short, a streaming media server is a server that processes streaming files. Remote education, video on demand, network radio, network video and other application servers. But many people have never heard of streaming media servers, so today Micronet will take you to learn about streaming media servers.
The streaming media server is required in the live broadcast process. The whole live broadcast process includes collection, processing, encoding, packet, streaming, transmission, transcoding, distribution, decoding, playing, etc. The streaming media server is mainly responsible for the collection, transmission, playing, and other processes. Streaming refers to the media that transmits audio, video and multimedia files in a streaming manner on the network. Compared with the network playback mode of watching after downloading, the typical feature of streaming media is that continuous audio and video information is compressed and placed on the network server, so that users can watch it when downloading, without waiting for the entire file download to complete. Micronet Discovery Streaming Media Server Compared with general website servers, streaming media servers need to have strong processing capacity, and hardware equipment should meet the following requirements:
First, CPU resources. A powerful SDK with sufficient CPU resources can easily handle real time code conversion, beauty, real-time snapshots, recording and other functions; If the CPU frequency of the computer is too low and the processing power is too slow, the computer cannot perform any operation when it is accessed by multiple users, which will cause the website to be stuck, the user experience will be poor, and many users will be lost.
Second, mass storage and hard disk drive. The production and transmission of streaming media is the black hole of system resources. Mass storage is the prerequisite for the stable operation of the system. Streaming media files are generally large, and a large number of streaming media files need more storage. Therefore, in order to ensure that streaming media files can be sent normally, it is recommended that the memory should be at least 512 MB and the hard disk capacity should be above 80 G.
Third, the sound card that occupies less system resources. A good sound card helps reduce CPU usage and greatly affects recording quality (for online live broadcast).
Fourth, the bandwidth should be large enough. Bandwidth is an important factor to ensure smooth live broadcast without jamming. The larger the bandwidth, the more people can watch the live broadcast. Therefore, to ensure a good live broadcast experience for users, you must select the appropriate bandwidth according to the specific situation. In addition, to avoid downtime, you need to limit the number of connections in the streaming media server.
VideoServer is an embedded device specially used to compress, store and process video and audio data. It is widely used in remote monitoring and video. MPEG4 or MPEG2 and other compression formats are used to compress and encode the video data to make it meet the technical standards and meet the requirements of storage and transmission.
The video server is mainly used for encoding and decoding audio and video, so many video server products are also called video codecs. Hikvision is the mainstream manufacturer in the current market. It can provide strong technical support for high-definition network monitoring, and can be used for security protection in finance, public security, military, communication, transportation, power, education, water conservancy and other industries.
