It puts together components from '''whisperLib''' and '''whisperStreamLib''' into a full solution for media streaming and distribution. The input for streaming can come from files, pushed or pulled streams (from another '''whisperCast''' or '''whisperer''' [see bellow]), mixed, mangled and massaged inside the server, according to your desire, and served to the user via HTTP or RTMP protocols. 70 78 It is distributed under the LGPL. 71 79 72 === whisperer===80 === '''[wiki:whisperer]''' === 73 81 74 82 This is a server that can encode live streams to be served through '''whisperCast'''. It can be used as the feeding point for an entire distribution network, as the encoded stream from a camera (or other capture device, like a tv-tuner) can be be pushed to (or pulled by) '''whisperCast''' for serving. 82 90 It is distributed under a BSD-style license. 83 91 84 == Commercial Components==92 == [wiki:commercial Commercial Components] == 85 93 86 94 There are several auxiliary components that whisperSoft offers as [wiki:commercial] products (ie. for money, with a commercial license).
