live event. QuickTime Broadcaster allows you to stream live audio and video over the
Internet. QuickTime Broadcaster meets the needs of both beginners and professionals by
providing preset broadcast settings and the ability to create custom settings. Built on top of
the QuickTime architecture, QuickTime Broadcaster enables you to produce a live event
using most codecs that QuickTime supports.

When teamed with QuickTime Streaming Server or Darwin Streaming Server, QuickTime
Broadcaster can produce a live event for delivery to an audience of any size, from an
individual to a large global audience.
