Webcasting with Video Conference Equipment

We have been seeing a steady and increasing interest in our clients desire to use their existing video conference equipment as the AV front end to a live webcast.

Using your video conference equipm,ent in this fashion is simple and the results are quite good.  Simply use your video conference equipment to “call” our video conference equipment.  We then take the video and audio from our conference unit and send it into our webcast system where it is delivered to a global audience.

Options such as presenter controlled slide shows, audience Q&A, audience registration and our exclusive, who’s watching capabilities are all easily added.

This is a great way to beat the high cost and complexities of on site video signal acquisition.  And, it makes a high quality, good looking webcast.  Of course there are a few technical issue you must know.  Well, actually, only one issue.  We only accept IP based video conference calls at this time (no ISDN).  But, if enough people ask for the ISDN version we will gladly add that ability.

Like always, feel free to comment or ask questions.

Here we go

It seems that I am always explaining something about webcasting to someone. I find myself repeating things. My daughter hates it when I repeat myself so I will be posting all mt explanations here in this handy blog. Now I can just refer people here and I will no longer repeat myself.

Not much in this first post so don’t expect any meat.
