Video 2. Live Streaming: Content Server to Show and Share Application

Call or Media Flow 

The Content Server records and streams a meeting in WMV format in unicast. The Cisco Show and Share 
application has a preconfigured URL that points to the live event created for this live broadcast. Users point 
their browser to this URL and view the live event on the Cisco Show and Share application. 

The Content Server sends either unicast WMV through its built-in WMS or unicast MP4 for Flash through an 
external streaming server to the Cisco Show and Share application. For WMV unicast streams, a server push 
model is used. 

You can specify a custom bit rate compatible with your network bandwidth when initiating a Content Server 
stream. The supported formats are WMV or MP4 for Flash. WMV is best viewed on Windows-based PCs, 
whereas MP4 for Flash can be viewed on a wide variety of desktops, including PCs and Macs.
