Whilst the Anycast is a brilliant little unit for mixing videos and does the encoding all in one box, many users do not have their own streaming distribution servers or have struggled to get a stream up and running due to a rather poor user manual which is partly down to the unit and software being written in Japan.

Anyway, the great news is that we know how it all works and are regularly running webcasts with the Sony Anycast.

 

If you have an Anycast and would like help with streaming your webcast, please get in touch!

There seems to be very little documentation about what this is, but it appears to be something to do with downloading the DRM license using ActiveX. Opeinging up all of the security settings does not seem to make any difference, but after finding out that the machine in question was running Windows XP Service Pack 1, an upgrade to Service Pack 2 fixed the problem. I have not checked to see if the same problem occurs on any other computer running Service Pack 1, but hopefully this may be helpful to some people…
