What is Live Event Streaming?

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.

For those who are unavailable to view the event live, we can also webcast the entire event or presentation for them, on demand, at their convenience. On-demand webcasting is a "re-broadcast" playable at any time from any computer. So, even if your audience missed the event in real time, they can still see and hear the event when the time is right for them.

The Basic Process

The basic process is the same for all other than the difference in the scale of the production:

1. Images and/or sound are captured with appropriate equipment. Anything from a single digital camcorder to multiple cameras and mixing desks.
2. The output from this equipment is fed into a laptop or PC using appropriate interface hardware.
3. Encoding software on the PC turns that input into a format suitable for live streaming. Typically this would be Windows Media Encoder for Windows Media format.
4. The encoded output is then transmitted via the PC's internet connection to our streaming servers. The higher the speed of this internet connection, the higher the quality of the images we broadcast.
5. This single stream is received by our streaming servers and re-broadcast, in real time, to multiple viewers via a website link
