18.3.2 WINDOWS MEDIA PULL

If you are streaming internally (to people in your building or inside your own
corporate firewall), Pull streaming may well provide the easiest approach.

That said, Pull is not a universal solution. Since your stream may be constrained by
lower bandwidth than a commercial streaming service typically offers, Pull
streaming may falter when more than a few users are viewing the stream.

For a Pull Connection Type, the Location field attempts to automatically display the
Internet address you would provide viewers, or in some cases, your streaming
service provider. This the IP (Internet Protocol) address of your computer on the
network. This information will be provided as ‘punctuated’ numeric value.

One other Flash-related detail deserves mention. The first time you
configure a RTMP stream, a webpage applet may pop-up up a configuration
dialog asking you to permit Adobe Flash Player to access your TriCaster
audio and video devices.

Click Allow, and checkmark Remember, too. Then, in turn, click the
‘microphone’ button and ‘webcam’ button, selecting TriCaster’s audio and
video devices from the drop down menus provided.

(If you ever need to open this panel again, you can get to the settings by
right-clicking on a flash applet in the browser, and select Settings.)
