The Clipstream™ Live Repeater
The Clipstream™ Live Repeater is server-installed software for Windows and UNIX servers that allows a location-based webcast using Clipstream™ Live to send a stream to a higher capacity server so that a larger audience can view the live content. This is useful not only for accomodating higher traffic but also for regional distribution and load balancing. In administration mode the Clipstream™ Live Repeater can be accessed and configured remotely using any browser.

*note: the same information in these pages can be found in the Clipstream™ Live technical manual, pages 18-24.

Clipstream™ Live Repeater: A larger audience can receive the same webcast content from a large capacity server that receives the originating stream from the webcasting site.
