Live Streaming Requirements?

We’re doing a website for a TV station, and they want to have a live TV broadcast on their website, our experience is basically in CMS and portal solutions, but we never had any experience in live streaming, so this is all new to us, so we’re looking for a technical and financial proposal with your suggestions and recommendations, this is the details of the project with some of the inquiries we have:

-The signal is SDI (Pal 25 fps)

-The output (online streaming) 15 fps

-The user will have two options to view the movie in:

1. Low: 56K

2. High: 300K

-The video should come within a customized designed page, probably as a code we can place inside an html table’s cell, not as a link for external link

-We’re expecting about 200 users for the video each month; each user’s logon time expected 10 min.

-We have a Red hat Linux on our server that will host the site, and we use php/MySql technology.

Inquires:

1. Why Windows media is better then Real in terms of performance, can you provide us with a comparison table to include it to our client?

2. If we choose Windows media, what are the requirements we need to have, form both; the TV station side, and in our Linux server? And how much would it cost?

4. Is there any hardware required from the TV station side such as DVR, or some sort of encoder, if so; what’s you’re recommendations (type/ brand), please note that this is a TV station and it needs a high quality professional hardware

5. How (and this is probably the most ambiguous task)

5.1. Do you broadcast the digital signal coming from the encoder (I guess) to the server?

5.2. And then place this signal on a PHP page? Do you give us a link to embed in our code?

6. If we choose to host the live streaming on a separated server and include the URL in our code, would that still required from our server to support Windows media, or it doesn’t matter as long as the video streaming is hosted on a Windows streaming server

7. How much disk space does it need to host a live streaming (with the details mentioned above)?

We would really appreciate your comments and suggestions, as this is our 1^st time to dealing with live streaming.

List Tables Associated with Specific Partition Scheme

How do I list the tables associated with a particular partition scheme? Basically I need to join between sys.tables and sys.data_spaces. The sys.tables view has a field for lob_data_space_id, but this seems to apply to the large object fields.

-Darrell

select ps.name as SchemaName, obj.name as TableName from sys.partition_schemes ps

join sys.indexes idx on (ps.data_space_id=idx.data_space_id)

join sys.objects obj on (idx.object_id=obj.object_id)

|||

This tells me which indexes are partitioned on the partition scheme, but not exactly the tables. This only works for tables if you assume that each table has at least one index created on the same partition scheme as the table itself. I want to be able to deal with the scenario where the table may not have any indexes create on the same partition as the base table.

The partitioned table may have no indexes or it may have indexes that are partitioned on a different scheme.

list and matrix grouping

hi i would to get some help from you guys. i am doing an item catalog,
basically the page will be full of pic and descriptions. i have done the
horizontal part like 3 pic and their descriptions in a row by using matrix
and list. my problem is, how can i display the header of each catagory just
once for each catagory. Currently my sr display each row has a header. i
would like to have each header display just once before go to second
catagory. Please advice.
Current Result:
---
Battery Battery Battery
<-- Header
---
pic description pic description pic description <-- pic
and description
---
Battery Battery Battery
<-- Header
---
pic description pic description pic description <-- pic
and description
---
Charger Charger Chareger <--

Thankssorry~ the current and idea result should be like this.
Current Result:
---
Battery Battery Battery <-- Header
---
pic+detail pic+detail pic+detail <-- pic and detail
---
Battery Charger Charger <-- Header
---
pic+detail pic+detail pic+detail <-- pic and detail
---
Headset Carrying Battery <-- Header
---
pic+detail pic+detail pic+detail <-- pic and detail
Idea Result:
---
Battery <-- Header
---
pic+detail pic+detail pic+detail <-- pic and detail
pic+detail pic+detail <-- pic and detail

pic+detail pic+detail <-- pic and detail
---
Headset <-- Header

Carrying <-- Header
---
pic+detail <-- pic and detail|||actually not the header issue, i just want to group all the item together
under the same catagory and display 3 item in each row.
i tried add two expression into list1_Details_Group expression which do the
category grouping first before 3 row group into one group.
1. =Fields!category.Value
2. =Ceiling(RowNumber(nothing)/3)
however my result become like this.
--
|item 1 - category 1| <- row 1
--
|item 2 - category 1| <- row 1
--
|item 3 - category 1| <- row 1
--
|item 4 - category 1| <- row 2
--
|item 5 - category 2| <- row 3
--
|item 6 - category 2| <- row 3
--
|item 7 - category 2| <- row 4 <-- problem here
--
|item 8 - category 2| <- row 4
--
|item 9 - category 2| <- row 4
--
idea resule:
--
|item 1 - category 1| <- row 1
--
|item 2 - category 1| <- row 1
--
|item 3 - category 1| <- row 1
--
|item 4 - category 1| <- row 2
--
|item 5 - category 2| <- row 3
--
|item 6 - category 2| <- row 3
--
|item 7 - category 2| <- row 3
--
|item 8 - category 2| <- row 4
--
|item 9 - category 2| <- row 4
