QuickTime Broadcaster is an audio and video RTP/RTSP server by Apple Inc. for Mac OS X. It is separate from Apple's QuickTime Streaming Server, as it is not a service daemon but a desktop application. It is able to stream live video and audio over a network in any QuickTime supported streaming codec.

The latest version delivers increased compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard and provides important bug fixes.

New features include:

  • H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10 video) live broadcasting
  • 3G streaming support for sending live broadcasts to multimedia enabled cell phones
  • Dramatically improved performance for streaming 640x480 30fps video
  • Increased standards support including 3GPP and ISMA (Internet Streaming Media Alliance)
