First of all, what do you exactly call real time streaming ? Be aware
that VLC has never been designed for strong real time requirements. It
will be hard to get a delay smaller then 1s. About the hardware
question, well, I cannot answer since I don't know what you plan to do.
However, I'm not sure a cluster is that well fit for *real time*
processing of a high amount of data with lots of intern dependency.
