2. 9 dec 99EV @ SURFnet/SEC Seminar2 Definities “Streaming” is buzz-woord. –Is een bijvoegelijk naamwoord Focus: Streaming MEDIA Definities terug te voeren op verschillende aspecten: –Push vs. Pull –Client-oriented vs. server-oriented –on-demand vs. live –Streaming media is the simultaneous transfer of video, audio and data [multimedia data] so that it is received as a continuous real-time stream –Streamed data is transmitted by a server application and received and displayed in real-time by client applications. These applications can start displaying video or playing back audio as soon as enough data has been received and stored in the receiving station's buffer

9. 9 dec 99EV @ SURFnet/SEC Seminar9 Protocollen (cont. RTSP) RTSP –Real Time Streaming Protocol designed to be an open standard aims to provide an extensible framework to enable controlled delivery of real-time data, such as audio and video.
