Webcasting & Streaming Services

Live Event Streaming allows a user to broadcast a live event in real time on the Internet. This capability is one of the most unique and exciting applications of streaming media technology. Only Streaming Media allows a user to do a live broadcast or webcast in real time on the Internet.

Not only is the very concept of doing a live webcast an exciting and often perfect solution, it is also relatively easy to do: webcasting live can be accomplished by simply having a webcam or digital camera, a laptop or home computer, appropriate cabling, some free software, and a modest broadband connection.

Put all the elements together, and you are online live! At the other extreme, professional productions such as major music or sporting events can be broadcast to tens of thousands of viewers via their web browsers.

By utilizing our Live Event Streaming servers, you can reach a much wider audience across a much larger geographic area. The sights and sounds of your Live Event are then streamed from our Streaming Media servers to your viewers anywhere in the world using a standard internet connection.

There are already a substantial number of users who connect to the Internet using high speed bandwidth alternatives such as ISDN modems, DSL, dedicated T-1 access, cable modems or through their company's network. The growth of these high-speed connection alternatives has already eclipsed standard 28.8 and 56K modem connections.

If you'd like current and future visitors to your web site who are connected to the Internet at higher speeds to be able to see higher quality video, we can specifically encode additional video clips which are meant for transmission and viewing at alternate speeds. In most cases, you will usually want your basic streaming video clip encoded for transmission to standard 28.8 or 56K modem users. Our charge for encoding alternate higher speed clips is only $25 per video clip.

If you have a need for high resolution video for stand-alone presentations on of your PC or Mac, we can also digitize your video into either AVI, QuickTime or MPEG formats and provide your digital video on CD-ROM.

File Sizes and Bandwidth Requirements

So that you can anticipate how much file storage space you'll require when we encode your videos, here's a chart which details file sizes based on video that has been encoded at different bandwidth speeds. Although these are some of the more popular choices, we can encode your videos using any bandwidth settings you specify.
