IET is one of the world’s leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community. IET.tv (http://tv.theiet.org) is their web-based service, delivering synchronised, multimedia content to web users anytime, anywhere. Stream UK has allowed IET to maximise the value of this content by streamlining the process of content management and distribution.
IET provide webcasting services to hundreds of leading global companies and brands, and Stream UK is now their partner to deliver market-leading webcasting production and software. IET offers a number of channels on IET.tv .These channels provide a corporate space to deliver presentations, product launches and demonstrations and similarly provide academic institutions a space to stream conferences and lectures using the Stream Connect software via IET.tv.
IET also has a huge archive of media content which needed to be managed and delivered efficiently via their public facing site, Stream UK allowed the IET to standardised all their assets and allow rapid categorisation and distribution on IET.tv with Stream Connect. Stream Connect allows IET to offer branded and interactive webcast interfaces that can be delivered across a world-class network.
Stream UK also migrated IET’s content, thousands of assets, onto the Stream UK Crowdsourcer platform, also used by the BBC, to drive IET.tv’s channel-based site structure. Combining automated transcoding with intuitive moderation and distribution tools, Stream Crowdsourcer is used retrospectively with existing media as well as providing advanced content management for the future.
As a result, webcasts are now being delivered (both live and on demand) with Stream Connect, benefitting from the tool’s interactive options, automatic archiving, and reliable delivery platform.

Over the last 3 days Stream UK has worked with Rich Media Agency to deliver the Maudsley Annual Review Conference. The Institute of Psychiatry were due to present a new educational initiative which highlights and synthesizes key advances in psychiatry and will serve as an annual landmark of progress in the field.
Stream UK were employed to encode the footage of the five symposiums and provide live slide synching to deliver the sessions with Stream Connect, Stream UK’s webcasting tool. However, due to the closure of UK airspace as a result of the ash cloud from Iceland’s volcano, a number of the key speakers were unable to make it to the Kings College location.
Our Stream UK team came quickly to the rescue providing short tutorials on how to present using a webcam and our webcasting tool. This allowed those speakers that were unable to travel to present from various locations around the globe allowing the conference to go ahead as planned.

Having left the den, ex-‘Dragon’ Doug Richard and his School for Startups have proved to be the leading provider of business training for fledgling and established entrepreneurs in the UK. This month saw the programme extending further, as September saw the final session of the ‘Fast Growth Marketing for Growing Businesses’ workshop webcast live to hundreds of entrepreneurs around the world. The interactive event marked the launch of S4Stv – a new online service which will combine live webcasts with a growing online video library. Click here to view the event in action.
Using Stream UK’s production team to film, mix and encode the footage – the session was delivered with the new release of Stream Connect, Stream UK’s webcasting tool. Stream Connect has been reviewed as “a simplified yet powerful interactive streaming platform that could be managed by the presenter” (Tim Siglin, Streaming Media Magazine) and as it continues to develop, the tool is allowing companies to provide professional level webcast experiences without relying on outside experts.
A key part of the S4S sessions is the ability of the live audience to interact with experts, asking questions and offering feedback. Stream Connect’s interactive options allow this to be extended to web-viewers worldwide. There was constant activity in the online chat room, and future events could use the voting and moderator announcements. Over the next year, Stream UK will continue to deliver production services, encoding, hosting and streaming services, as the School grows its online presence.
