Experience IIS Smooth Streaming
The Silverlight browser plug-in allows you to see IIS Smooth Streaming in action on this page. (If Silverlight is not installed, please install it when prompted.) If the Internet bandwidth and video rendering capability on your playback device are sufficiently high, you'll experience high-definition video playback of the sample content. You will also be able to simulate end user experiences under varying conditions by simulating drops and recoveries in bandwidth. If your actual bandwidth is below 3 Mbps, or your playback device is video-challenged, then you will experience the adaptive nature of Smooth Streaming without needing to simulate a bandwidth cap.
User Interface Key
Bit Rate Bar
The Now DownLoading Bitrate bar (top-right) displays the network connection's current throughput.
Frames Per Second
The top-left graph displays the frames per second are being rendered, which is a reflection of both network throughput and local CPU conditions.
Limit Bit Rate Slider
The Limit Max Bitrate slider bar (top-right) allows you to emulate lower bandwidths, so that you can see how Smooth Streaming adapts to varying network conditions.
Bit Rate Graph
The lower left graph displays the available video bit rates, with the red line indicating the currently playing bit rate.
