Hi Linh,


I think video feeds will require things like realvideo producer which is 
not yet available for sparc - I don't think we may have the bandwidth to 
do live video streaming however I do believe that it may be possible to 
take video feeds and upload them after the session is done.

My goal is to get live audio streaming done completely using Solaris and 
native tools like icecast and lame. It will also be low bandwidth and 
usually it's easier for people to do their work and listen to the 
broadcasts at the same time rather than spending hours looking at video.

You can start looking at www.icecast.org and try getting yourself 
familiarized with the tools and might want to try to set up a live 
streaming server - the OSS drivers can be downloaded from our site.

I think you should stick with x86 since the hardware is probably better 
supported.


best regards
