Webcasting enables a live event to be broadcast over the internet in real time. Live video is encoded in at the time of the event and passed straight to the video server for worldwide distribution.
This may involve a single camera corporate announcement from your CEO or it could be a more complex video conferencing arrangement whereby the event is captured by several cameras and the live vision mix is encoded for distribution.
Video Conferencing
A video conference is where two or more simultaneous events take place and each event sends it’s output to the other.
Sound and vision is exchanged in real time and projection screens and and a PA allow each audience to see and hear the other – a highly cost effective way of bring two groups of people together to share a group communication experience.
Distribution
All camera signals may be recorded at the time of broadcast and edited into a presentation highlights video programme.
This programme may then be distributed through DVD, as an electronic file such as Windows Media or QuickTime or encoded for web streaming from your website.
Password protection can ensure that only the people who you are eligible to see the information are allowed to do so.
In this way specific video communications can be targeted at specific audiences, within a video on demand environment.
