Webcast: Digital Academic Television Network, Tuesday, January 18,
10:00 a.m. Pacific
Join this live webcast at 10:00 a.m. Pacific on Tuesday, January 18,
2005. Dave Schroeder, Senior Systems Engineer, University of

CAST:STREAM 2.0. IS REQUIRED TO VIEW THIS WEBCAST.
Go to the following web page to review the minimum system requirements
and to download the cast:stream 2.0 Player.
http://webcast.training.apple.com/instructions/
Follow each step in this process to ensure a successful connection.
1. When you reach the Download section, simply download the
appropriate player to your desktop. It will unstuff automatically and
place a folder on your desktop called "cast:stream Player" (Windows
users will have to unstuff it manually).
2. Complete the "Connection Speed" and "Streaming Test" sections on
the instructions web page to confirm that your configuration is
correct.
NOTE: It's very important that you conduct the streaming test prior to
accessing the webcast, to find out if you have access to streaming. A
few Internet providers and schools have blocked streaming, which
prevents access webcasts. If you find that you are not able to view
the streaming test, you might want to check to make sure you have
QuickTime installed properly, or, with your Internet Provider to see
if you have streaming blocked.
3. Launch the player application in the cast:stream folder. Once you
"Agree" to the user license, but before logging on, select
"Preferences" from the cast:stream Player menu in Mac OS X (or the
Edit menu for Mac OS 9 or Windows) and enter the following address
into the cast:stream server address field:
webcast2.training.apple.com
(THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE http:// in front of it, and should be typed in,
vs. copied and pasted, which often brings an extra space with it - and
then doesn't work)
4. Click OK and quit the cast:stream Player application. You are ready
for the broadcast.
5. Within 15 minutes of the program start, open the cast:stream Player
application and enter your name, location, and the broadcast ID for
this broadcast.
Broadcast ID: Macenterprise
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Cable modem or DSL. 56K users can join for audio and slides, but will
not be able to receive streaming video.
TROUBLESHOOTING a cast:stream Broadcast
Try these steps if you are having trouble viewing the video test or a
cast:stream broadcast.
Audio Problems
A common fix for audio problems is to log out and back in again.

UDP to HTTP. Follow these steps in Mac OS X.
1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click the QuickTime preference pane.
3. Click the Connection tab.
4. Click the Transport Setup button.
5. Change the Transport Protocol from UDP with a RTSP Port ID of 554
to HTTP with a Port ID of 80.
Slide Problems
During a broadcast, if you find the slides are not arriving at the
correct time, you can adjust this in the preferences of the
cast:stream Player.
Follow these steps to change the slide timing.
1. Open the cast:stream preferences.
2. Click the SyncSure Slide Delay Compensation checkbox.
3. After this is selected you can slide the timing up and down to meet
your needs.
QuickTime Streaming Problems
Consult this technical support page, if you are unable to view the
QuickTime video or audio stream:
http://webcast.training.apple.com/instructions/troubleshoot.html
Apple employees: If you are using VPN to get behind the Apple firewall,
close your VPN connection. It isn't necessary to use VPN to watch a
broadcast, and it can cause problems with viewing.
Webcast presenters will mention a Tech Support number to call if you
are having problems during the webcast. If you are unable to hear the
Tech Support number, "chat in" your phone number, and someone from
Tech Support will call you. (The "chat" is one way. The webcast team
will not be able to chat responses to you.)
