Streaming technology in overview
Streaming technology allows webcasts:
- as live or on-demand broadcast
- with global search and indexing functions
- as rich-media application
- in multi-channel audio and languages
- transcoded into various formats and output media
Streaming technology
allows the reception and simultaneous play of audio and video data. This form of broadcast is known as streaming, because the data is broken up into tiny individual packages and broadcast as a ‘data stream’ via a streaming server or network to the receiver.
Webcast as live streaming
is possible only because of streaming technology. The stream is sent from our encoders to a streaming server network and from there distributed via the Internet. The use of this method enables your event to be broadcast to tens of thousands of viewers simultaneously and at the highest possible picture quality.
Streaming media
In addition to broadcasting audio and video data, streaming technology also allows the broadcast of additional data signals. These signals could be used for example for synchronous insertion of other media such as slides, text, subtitles, announcements, photos, websites, etc.
A simple video broadcast can therefore be made into a webcast application with multi-media enhancements.
Data security
Streaming technology
is the technical basis for a high-quality webcast.
The application of streaming technology and of server networks to broadcast your videos guarantees rapid and smooth access to your webcast.
For our customers, however, the technology is not as important as the quality of the application and its efficient realisation.
We believe in using proven systems and standards, expanding on these with our own developments and workflows designed by us, which allow efficient and reliable production.
