What is Webcasting?
Webcasting is a technology to broadcast audio and video over the internet to large numbers of people simultaneously, as the event is happening. Unlike teleconferencing or other current video streaming solutions, it does not require the viewer to have any special equipment or know-how, beyond a normal computer and standard internet access. The quality of the resulting video can adjust to be compatible with low-bandwidth, dial-up style internet connections, all the way up to high-speed, broadband connections that are capable of carrying full motion, high-quality images and audio.
Here's one of our most recent webcasts:
How does it work?
Camera operators on-site relay the live video over a highspeed internet connection to an off-site re-broadcasting station which then serves a copy of the live feed to viewers via a protected webpage.
How do we get an internet connection on-site?
If we have access to landline broadband connectivity near the event location, we will use that. This saves money and time. If no high-speed internet access is available, we make use of vtal satellite technology, which is a moderately sized dish mounted on a van. Parked within 200 feet of the event site, we use enterprise-grade WIFI technology to communicate from the uplink point to the actual event site. The on-site internet connection serves only to relay the live video out to an offsite ‘replication server’ which then distributes as many copies of the broadcast as are needed to viewers on the web.
