How does this compare to Wowza?

The setup seems rather similar to https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module which I've used in the past. Perhaps they've bundled it with Nginx Plus without crediting the original authors? The project has a bit too permissive license for my taste.

I wish there was a decent HTML5 low latency (< 2s) solution. Nothing comes close to RTMP + Flash still.

Roman Arutyunyan is (or was previously) an engineer at nginx when he developed nginx-rtmp.

I thought this project was shut down.

HD RTMP to the client is extremely difficult to scale without an enormous investment in infrastructure. AFAIK BAM/MLB.TV are the only ones doing it.

This looks cool. I'm very interested in live video but can someone enlighten me on the creation side of this equation?

How do I create an RTMP stream in the first place?

What camera can/should I use? Can I use webcam? Is there an iOS app that can do it?

What hardware/software is needed to create this RTMP stream that I'll be pushing to nginx?
