MistServer is a minimalist open-source implementation of a multi-standard multimedia server, developed by DDVTech. MistServer is used for streaming of live and on-demand media over public and private IP networks to desktops, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, IPTV set-top boxes and other network-connected devices. The server is an architecture-independant native C++ application that runs on any POSIX-compatible operating system, for example: Linux, Mac OS X and BSD. It can also be run on Windows through a Cygwin compatibility layer.

MistServer can stream to multiple types of playback clients and devices simultaneously from a single source, including the Apple QuickTime Player and iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch), HTML5 clients, Adobe Flash player and Microsoft Silverlight player.
