Live StreamN:

StreamN was designed for a user to broadcast a live event in real time over the Internet. Live Streaming is one of the most unique and exciting new technologies on the web. StreamN allows a user to broadcast anything, live, in real time on the Internet.

Live webcasts are not only exciting and great marketing tools, but they are also easy to do: StreamN can walk you through everything. You can use one of our encoders or IP cameras with out the need for a computer, or use a webcam or digital camera, and a computer, connected to a broadband connection and you are online live!

You can broadcast almost anything.

Live Streaming is especially effective for a wide variety of events including musical and sporting events, weddings, company financial reports or product announcements, lectures or training courses, and more. StreamN can even send images and sounds of a births or other family event to friends and relatives around the world, right to the comfort of their own homes. Anywhere you want to be, we can help you stream it with ease.

Best of all because the streams come from our StreamN servers, most of the bandwidth you use comes from our servers, and not your connection. so you can have hundreds of viewers without any issues. The streams are viewable from both Windows and Mac computers with the free plugins listed on this site.

StreamN Examples:

We can also rebroadcast any recorded event on demand for your viewers, so, even if your audience missed the event in real time, they can still see and hear the event when the time is right for them.

The Basics

1. Images and/or sound are captured with appropriate equipment. Anything from a single digital camcorder to multiple cameras and mixing desks.

2. The output from this equipment is fed into a laptop or PC using appropriate interface hardware.

3. Encoding software on the PC turns that input into a format suitable for live streaming.
(our IP cameras and Encoders do steps 2&3 automatically without the need for a computer)

4. The encoded output is then transmitted via the PC's internet connection to our streaming servers. The higher the speed of this internet connection, the higher the quality of the images we broadcast.

5. This single stream is received by our streaming servers and re-broadcast, in real time, to multiple viewers via a website link
