A variety of different sources can be Live Streamed with the aid of a MediaStar Live Stream enabled encoder. Whether terrestrial, cable, satellite, PC output or internally created media, MediaStar Sources will scale the content and H264/AAC encode the stream into segments prior to passing them to the Live streaming server. The Live Streaming server can be configured to store an administrator specified amount of content up to a maximum of twenty hours, depending on storage availability. When content goes beyond the specified store period it is deleted.

Users can click and play iVod and Live Streaming feeds from Media Portal web pages generated by the MediaStar Media Manager. Populating Media Portal pages with content is as simple as dropping media icons to the Portal configuration Page. A single click will publish the page. Each portal page can be individually branded and customised. Both iOS and Android technologies come with Live Stream viewing technology built in, with no additional client or app install required. Integrated within the technology is the facility to pause and rewind live streaming content up to a configured maxiumum on the Live Streaming server .

For small Live Streaming systems the first MediaStar Live Stream server can be co-hosted on the Media Manager server. As the need for client devices increase and you need a corresponding increase in processing power the Live Streaming server can be installed to additional hardware. MediaStar Portal pages are licensed on a per client/device basis. Additional licenses are required as Live Streaming servers are added.
