Broadcast Live
Video
The Future is Now
Broadcast live
video is a term that means to transmit real time video over the
Internet as it is happening.
This can occur as you are watching a
speech by a politician on the Internet, engaged in a conversation with
someone on the internet or intranet as you see a live picture of them,
or watching a football game on the Internet as it is happening.
The
ability to broadcast video live has been achieved due to
advances in
computer technology and the attributes of the Internet. Broadcasting
live video over the Internet is sometimes referred to as streaming live
video, which means the same thing.
If you want to
broadcast live video from your computer by connecting a webcam or other
video equipment, you will need access to wide bandwidth.
A
wide bandwidth is also necessary when trying to view others broadcast
live videos. Access to a wide bandwidth is important when you have many
viewers
accessing your
broadcast at the same time.
- Occurs
in afternoons and evenings when more people are home from work.
- College
students and young adults are prime viewers of viewing live
video over the Internet.
- Experienced
when you are trying to access a trendy website to watch
popular videos.
- If
bandwidth is not wide enough on sending or receiving end you will
observe a jerky motion in the video.
- Jerky
motion can be a result of the capabilities of your computer, slow
processing speed or not having enough Random Access Memory (RAM) for
temporary storage.
Windows Media Player
is
the primary software on Windows based computers for viewing live video
and Quick Time for Macs.
If you are going to take
advantage of Windows
Media Player you need to ensure that your live broadcast software uses
one of its recognized formats.
These formats
include:
- WMV
– Windows Media Video
- ASF –
Advanced System Format
- MPEG 4
– Motion Picture Experts Group version 4
- H.264
– standard video compression
Another
software system for live broadcast video is Realplayer G2.
This
software system uses multiple bandwidths to send and receive the
broadcasted live video.
This system’s
formats include:
- AVI – Audio
Video Interweave
- MP – Video production
2, 3
Broadband
live video can be
captured by a
number of
methods to deliver you live streaming video
over the Internet. These include:
- Camcorders
connected to computers
Another
method of
delivering your broadcasted live video is by embedding a link to the
video in the text of a message.
When clicked on the reader will be
taken immediately to your live broadcast.
This
method is likely to
bring viewers that have never heard of your website. Embedding links in
text can be accomplished through:
- Articles
in
online magazines
- Web
content articles contained on your website
- Web
content articles con other peoples websites that are linked to your
website
Another use for broadcast live
video is in online
training or education courses. These include:
- Online
training courses from corporate offices to branch offices, much
better than the conference call
- Online
education courses when the participants are scattered in
different locations
- Podcasts
of training videos
The
future has arrived in the broadcast live video business. As the
technology evolves, who know were it sill go.
Remember that computer
only began entering homes a little over 20 years ago.
