Wowza Media Server Integration With Kaltura CE5
June 21, 2012 by abhimanyu
Enabling my website for RTMP and live streaming for different devices and audio and video formats , I integrate Kaltura CE5 with Wowza Media Server. Wowza Media Server is used for streaming of live and on-demand video, audio, and RIAs (rich Internet applications) over public and private IP networks to desktop, laptop, and tablet computers, mobile devices, IPTV set-top boxes, internet-connected TV sets, and other network-connected devices.This is how you could easily integrate Wowza Media Server with Kaltura CE5 and enjoy live streaming on your website.
