FROM PREVIOUS POST. Tested and works fantastic for my situation.

Let me start by mentioning that the following s being provided for
testing purposes and with the caveat that making the change below is a
completely unsupported configuration. However, you might giving it a
try.
Regarding reducing latency when viewing a reflected stream (.sdp)
through a QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server, you might try changing the
"reflector_buffer_size_sec" property in the streamingserver.xml file.
For example, reduce the reflector's buffer delay from 10 seconds to 0
seconds (pref="reflector_buffer_size_sec").
Then, as root or the admin user edit the
/Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Config/streamingserver.xml file, and search
for this property:
Write the xml file back to disk (make sure that when you save it, save
it as plain text with .xml extension, don't save it accidentally as
.rtf, etc.)
Now, send a SIGHUP to the QTSS child process (the higher PID number) or
else stop/restart the QuickTimeStreamingServer using the Streaming Web
Admin interface.
To change things back, just re-edit the xml file and make the value be
10 again, and then restart the streaming server...

We have been testing DSS and Broadcaster for its suitability as a video

QT configuration. The video and audio quality is great but the delay
is a
bit too long (sometimes a telephone is used for the audio portion) are
there
ways of reducing the delay, say to real-time or 1 second delay. I am
not
sure what the delay is for products like video link pro, but I think
QT has
the potential of offering a great solution to this market especially
with
mp4 streams.
