On April 9-10 Cambridge Judge Business School used Stream UK to stream the Institute of Economic Thinking (INET) conference live from Kings College.
More than 150 academic, business and government policy thought leaders from around the world convened at Kings College in Cambridge to explore the reasons why prevailing economic theory failed to predict the recent financial and economic crisis.
Due to the exclusivity of invitations to the session rooms themselves, Judge Business School created several auditoriums, including a state-of-the-art lecture theatre, to allow a similar experience to others.
At short notice, Stream UK’s team were responsible for encoding a live video feed and delivering it at a quality high enough for audiences to watch on a plasma screen. Feedback from all parties was fantastic.
“You’re guys were great. Most helpful throughout the event. The quality of the webcast was high. They kept in contact with us throughout and it went very smoothly” Dave Amann, Judge Business School.
We look forward to more events like it.

Our first webcast for 2010 on January 4th was so popular it received international media attention. Stream UK hosted a live audio webcast for British hypnotist Chris Hughes who was planning to put a world record number of people under hypnosis using the internet.
Hughes initially anticipated that only 1000 people would participate however the level of interest in ‘Socialtrance’ exceeded everyone’s expectations. By midday on the 4th more than 6,000 people had registered, with hits to the website surging in the last few hours before the webcast. Unfortunately due to legal reasons Chris was unable to perform the hypnosis live. This then required Stream UK to step in at the last minute and help Chris and his team by providing a download link that could cope with large numbers of concurrent users as well as the live player.
Nick Carpenter, a member of Chris Hughes team released a statement on Tuesday stating ‘In the end, over 16,000 people listened to the live webcast (many thanks to StreamUK for providing such a robust service to cope with this)’.

On Saturday the 13th of June 2009 Stream UK’s team of experienced webcasting professionals filmed LIVE from a bedroom in Gravesend which was then streamed live via satellite link to 50,000 Rockers viewing the live stream on big screens at the Download Festival in Nottingham.
For any unsigned metal or rock band, the thought of playing the main stage on Saturday night at Download in front of thousands of people is a distant dream. For one band, that dream became a reality.
Red Bull Bedroom Jam have been running a very special competition where one lucky band would get the chance to play live at Download 2009. The winning band was selected from hundreds of uploaded videos from unsigned under 18 year old musicians.
However instead of actually turning up in Nottingham, the band would play live from their…bedroom, streamed up to space and downloaded at the Download festival.
Production included multi camera shoot, video editing and live vision mixing with video inserts and full project management of the production and satellite feeds.

In the summer edition of Streaming Media Magazine, Tim Siglin reviewed Stream UK’s Stream Connect. Siglin wrote, “Stream UK saw a need to provide a simplified yet powerful interactive streaming platform that could be managed by the presenter through a series of seven steps”.
You can find the full review at: http://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/article.asp?id=11161
Stream Connect is a complete webcast administration tool that allows the user to administer a complete live and on-demand webcast programme, including the building of a structured and searchable archive. Stream Connect works with any encoding hardware or software to add interactivity, accountability and impact to your video presentation and is designed to make administering your own webcast programme easy.
The template wizard allows the administrator to brand it with their logo and colours for any type of event from audio webinar to live webcast, add interactive content such as PowerPoint slides synchronised with a presenter speech, a chat room to interact with the audience, voting window and further reading resources. Stream Connect now gives the user control by reducing reliance on outsourcing to service providers and offering a user-friendly and intuitive interface that can easily be used by non technical staff.
