A live webcast means broadcasting media in real time over the Internet.  Live media streams are generally provided by a means called true streaming.  True streaming sends the information straight to the computer or device without saving the file to a hard disk.

Webcasting is essentially broadcasting over the Internet and is traditionally used for sending messages from one source to many simultaneous participants.  You can broadcast your message to 50, 500, 50,000 people, or more.

Web Conferencing is traditionally used as a source to communicate between ‘many-to-many participants’.  However, interaction is usually between smaller groups of 6, 12, 24 people etc.

A “webcast” refers to information dispersed to a large audience via the Internet.  It might be a simple audio stream, or it might include visual aids, such as presentation slides, recorded video clips, or live software demonstrations.

A “webinar” expands the idea of a webcast into a more interactive format.  The experience attempts to reproduce the benefits of attending a live seminar. 

With TVI, you own, control and distribute your content.
Your videos can be any length and uploaded and deleted anytime.  Your videos are searchable and can be programmed to make a categorized library.  With public video sharing sites, you must limit the length of your videos, sacrifice quality and accommodate advertisements along with the occasional slow streaming rate.

An encoder is a device that takes the image captured from camera and microphone feeds and converts it into an internet-friendly format. The quality of an encoder dictates the quality of your webcast.
We use the latest encoder technology to ensure a reliable stream.

Having the best hardware quality for the encoders makes the quality of the streaming better.  The servers receive the media and distribute it to our Content Delivery Network (CDN).  Our CDN streams your content through the server located closest to the viewers, reducing buffering time and creating a better experience for your audience.

No.  Our webcast technology does not require any software plug-ins.
Our infrastructure is based in Flash and most computers now have Flash installed.  Flash works flawlessly in MACs and PCs and new technologies like HTML5 will also make plug-ins non-existent, as any computer in the future will have that technology.

No.  Our webcasting services are delivered to your participants via
a single computer, tablet or mobile device with access to the Internet.

Flash, Windows Media and Microsoft Silverlight.

We can help you integrate, or provide you with any embedded code so the webcast/video can be implemented within your system.  We can also provide many other complementary services.

Traditionally, we take care of all of the webcast’s project management; however, we have a flexible working approach and ultimately want to cater to your working style.

We recommend preparing for the webcast 2 weeks in advance.  However, the nature of your business objectives, may call for more,
or less, planning and development time.
