Its very simple you could consider two solutions:
1)Encode the live event with helix producer plus and then send it to a Helix Server which will multicast it to the network(as long as you have corectlly configured the multicast routing on the server)both products come from RealNetworks(problems->expensive to buy,comression only in real format)
2)Install vlc (if you are using linux you must compile it with video4linux support) and stream with vlc from the server in a multicast group.(problems->difficult to compile and use if you are a novice user but it is FREE of any charge)
Personally I am using both ways on a machine running SLACKWARE linux and for me vlc is better from Real Products because it is the only real time streamer.I managed with advanced configurations to have a delay of 600ms in the transmitted live video.

  Hi my name is neil Kalvin and I am setting up some live theatre on the web. I figured this is a great opertunity for the arts on the web and to spread are message. Here are some questions. 1. I have a server with about 500gig's a month of bandwith. 2. what do I need to do to setup a multicast server or network. Also I was wondering if this softwhere and such supports P2P so that it does not use up all my bandwith and such. Please help I am a little lost but the right push in a direction would greatly help.
