If you are using Apple stuff you can download QuickTime Broadcaster
and/or Darwin Streaming Server:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_Broadcaster
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Streaming_Server, you might be
able to use this in the mix as well.
Looks like Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
I don't think I will be too helpful with settings as I haven't played
with this in quite a while now.
Sounds like a worthy idea. One thing you might need to add is a
directional antenna on maybe the laptop or the wireless access point
or even both to get more range.
Good luck, Ian
