After my post Rainet and FIFA World Cup I received questions about support in IISMS4 (IIS Media Services 4) for iPhone™\iPad™.
One of the mission of IISMS is offering an Integrated Media Platform that give to users possibility to use a single encoder and a single backend that could permit to serve videos to a large numbers of different device spanning from PC , MAC, Windows Phone 7, STB , Connected TV and also iPhone™\iPad™ .
IIS Media Services 4 currently in Beta ( public beta is available here 32-bit or 64-bit) and one of the new features offered from this platform is about support Http Streaming for Apple devices for live and on-demand streaming.
Live Streaming is supported in IISMS 4 leveraging a new capability in the platform able to trans-mux (repackage from one file format to another without re-encoding) in different format starting with the H.264 video content received from encoders in the fragmented MP4 format used for Smooth Streaming. IISMS4 is able to trans-mux on the fly to the Apple HTTP Live Adaptive Streaming (m3u8) format compatible with iPhone and iPad . Content in the fragmented MP4 is repackaged in a MPEG2TS files and IISMS4 generate the correct manifest that could permit to drive streaming to Apple devices.
