Audio and video servers deliver multimedia capabilities to Web sites by giving users the ability to listen to sound bytes and watch movie clips via Web browser plug-ins. While the use of traditional A/V formats like WAV and MIDI (sound) or MOV and AVI (video) on Web sites doesn't necessitate a specialized server, the recent emergence of streamed audio and video content has made the Audio/Video Server a necessity in many cases. The new streaming technology marks an important transition for A/V multimedia on the Web and will undoubtedly become one of the Web's most exciting technologies as it evolves.
