The LEADTOOLS Video Streaming Module is perfect for developers who need to serve videos on demand, offering an unsurpassed multimedia experience while at the same time reducing bandwidth requirements. You can serve multimedia files using a standard IIS web server or using the Microsoft Media Server. You can bypass the Windows Media Encoder and send compressed data straight to the Windows Media Server. The LEADTOOLS Video Streaming Module is designed to provide you with all the tools you need to provide streaming multimedia content via the web.
It is also possible to create custom video conferencing applications and utilities. The LEADTOOLS Video Streaming Module can be used to create Client Server applications such as:
-
Security Server / WebCast Where a single server is sending to multiple clients.
-
Video Conferencing Where each computer participating in the conference is both a client and a server.
-
Live Presentations over the Web Where screen activity on a server is captured and sent to one or more clients.

Obtaining release versions of the Video Streaming Module Components
You can develop and perform testing with the development only editions of the components, codecs and filters contained in this product.
