MediaMaster is a simple no-frills application to stream live video and audio over a local network or over the internet. By using Windows Media format, anyone can connect to the stream and view the video by using any Windows Media-compatible player either stand-alone or embedded in a webpage.MediaMaster can also, optionally, write its output to a file (Microsoft Advanced Systems Format - ASF). Either the network or the file or both can be selected. The video source can be any Windows Media Format source (webcams, TV capture cards, USB digital cameras, camcorders, etc). Facilities to de-interlace the video from sources which supply TV-type interlaced video (for example, TV capture cards) and full access to the video device drivers' settings are provided.A range of stream bitrates is provided so the resulting stream or file can be suitable for delivery over any transport from a basic 56kbps dial-up modem to near DVD quality PAL and NTSC video. The 'quality' of constant bitrate video-only streams can be adjusted and the synchronization 'accuracy' between sound and vision can be adjusted in streams containing audio and video.
