Streaming Media

Calypso can assist with streaming media such as QuickTime and Real Media.

QuickTime Media Services

All Calypso plans now include unlimited Quicktime Streams! We use Apple's open source "Darwin" streaming media server to allow you to stream audio and/or video content from your web site. In order to prepare the media to be streamed (i.e. begin play while the file continues to download) you must "hint" the file. It's a bit of a complicated process, but we outline it and have plenty of help in our wiki. To set up Quicktime Streaming you have to use our web panel and create a special sub-domain where all your streamed media will come from.

Streaming HTTP

Streaming HTTP media allows for the ultimate flexibility in streaming media. Most types of content are supported. This type of system behaves much like a standard HTTP server, but is more suited for the high-bandwidth needs of most multimedia applications.

If neither of these options suits your needs, please feel free to contact us to find a solution that fits you perfectly.
