Experience IIS Smooth Streaming
The Silverlight browser plug-in allows you to see the IIS Smooth Streaming
player 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. If you have high bandwidth and modern hardware,
you might also try the
1080p page.
Try the demo below, which helps demonstrate how IIS Smooth
Streaming works. Then, try the new
IIS Smooth Streaming Showcase, which shows a
multiple-camera-angle player, live streaming, and iPhone streaming in
action.
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.
