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.

Stream UK, the UK’s largest independent streaming company has added a new social media feature to its popular webcasting platform Stream Connect. The new feature, a Twitter plug-in, allows for engagement between webcasters and their audiences with the hope of allowing participants to feel involved in the online experience.
Stream Connect is used for a variety of events including conferences, trade shows, training, executive announcements and much more and previous interactivity options have included questions submission, voting, and chat, but this has now been extended to provide a webcasting solution which is integrated with social networking platforms.
The recent multi-webcast event for London Business School were first to use the new feature when alumni and journalists were offered an additional layer of communication by allowing them to post comments via their Twitter account, with the interfaces showing a live feed of the relevant twitter page / tweets referencing the event hash tag. This functionality serves a dual benefit if driving webcast attendee engagement, and promoting the event itself within the web community.
