Streaming Media

With broadband access finally reaching critical mass, the Internet is rapidly becoming the ideal delivery mechanism for audio and video presentations of all kinds. BroadbandVideo exists to help companies and organizations of all sizes leverage this powerful new medium. We’ve taken great pains to ensure that we can deliver your audio/video at a quality you expect and at a price you can afford.

There are many applications for streaming across a myriad of industries including business, government, education, training, television and radio. The savings that can be realized in the training segment alone are staggering. Imagine instead of sending a trainer to multiple locations to train the same content, posting the video of the trainer on your Web site. No more airfare, hotel, car rental expenses. Now your trainer can concentrate on improving the content and process, thus improving your bottom line.

Our streaming media solutions include:

  • Creation of your own private labeled player window customized with your logo and graphics
     
  • Professional encoding with state of the art encoders optimized to provide the best quality possible

Webcasting

Live Event Multicasting.

We can provide a webcasting solution for a single event or set up an environment to stream live events on a regular basis. Either way, we’ll make sure your event goes off without a hitch. And you may want to consider other interactive features for your visitors such as surveys, chat sessions, powerpoints and other custom interactive features. We can even switch sources during a live webcast, from one camera to another, from an intro to your live content, to a commercial break, back to live programming and then to a close to end the program. All live using all off-the-shelf hardware. If someone is trying to sell you expensive streaming hardware, don’t do it, call BroadbandVideo. We’ll tell you what to buy and let you buy it yourself or if you don’t have the time, we’ll buy it for you with no mark-ups. BroadbandVideo offers complete solutions to capture your content and deliver it to your web audience saving you tons of time and money.


Here’s how the process works:

  1. A BroadbandVideo crew will arrive at your site and configure a streaming station with all the necessary parameters to allow visibility on the Internet.
     
  2. An encoder profile is created so each session can have a separate and unique file name.
     
  3. The streaming station outputs a single stream via the local network to BroadbandVideo’s Broadcast Center and simultaneously writes an encode file to the local hard drive.
     
  4. The live stream is captured by our BroadbandVideo media servers, which deliver the content live to the Internet audience.
     
  5. Viewers access the webcast by clicking a link on the client’s Web site.
     
  6. BroadbandVideo creates an archived file ready for re-broadcast on your site for as long as you want it available to your viewers.
