Webcasting

Webcasting is the live distribution of audio and video material, we checked this with Wikipedia.

Stream UK can manage the entire project from site visit through to on-demand archive. The service includes interactive features, event notification, and full testing pages.

Services include:

• Site visit and pre-event consultancy;
• Slide synchronisation with built-in delay to accommodate buffering on end-users’ computers;
• Interface customised to client’s look and feel;
• Online voting;
• Discussion board;
• Email facility;
• Pre-event testing suite;
• Email notification;
• Telephone support.

Live webcasts can be configured in a number of different ways:

• Customisation of the interface to reflect the client’s look and feel
• Restriction of access according to IP address, geography or other rules
• Full statistical reporting of use
• Global distribution of streaming media
• Stream UK technical personnel available for on-site support, live encoding or telephone support
• Signal acquisition may be done via standard video conferencing equipment (H.263 codec transcoded to Windows Media or RealMedia within our datacentre).

Procedure

In an ideal world we will:

1. define the event requirements
2. agree a price
3. develop the online interface/microsite at least two weeks before the event, giving users a place to check their systems
4. perform a site visit and agree the on-the-day logistics at least one week before the event
5. receive all media that is required to be synchronised or introduced at least 24 hours before the event
6. set-up equipment to be ready 2 hours before the event starts
7. record several flavours of back-up during the event
8. edit and upload the event files immediately after the event
9. produce a full statistical report within 24 hours of the event
10. produce a post event microsite within 2 days of the event.
