A Website Broadcast - The New Technology in the Neighborhood

A 'Website broadcast' is fast catching up around the world. People are able to view the events live through a website. It is the new technology that is also proving beneficial to businesses as well as serving its benefits in the academic circles.

A small event such as a high school football event can also be shown on the school website by website broadcasting. It can be easily done by broadcasting a live video on to the website by real time streaming protocol, commonly known as RTSP, from a streaming server.

Let us see how website broadcast works:

• You can connect an IP Camera with a WiFi connectivity connected by an ADSL router. If you choose to ignore the poor ADSL connectivity, this camera successfully connects directly from the internet to the RTSP. You can also remotely host a streaming server capable of handling multiple connections and feed it with single link from IP camera.
• Another option to get better connectivity is to switch the IP camera with a normal camera and video server box. The WiFi range can be improved by adding high gain antennas and an RF mast amplifier.
• The video formats are compatible with various players. The best option is QuickTime Real Player or Window Media Player and it is also compatible with 3GP mobile phones with correct resolutions. Another option is to transcode it into FLV or the Flash Video Format so that you can deploy the flash player from the host website.

Now-a-days several webhosting companies also offer RTSP streaming services in Windows Media Player and QuickTime Real Player format. They also include live streaming from a video uplink. This means that if you own a travel website, next time you can broadcast the celebrations of "Mardi Gras" or "Carnivale Venice" from Italy live on your travel website! An even better suggestion is, you can choose a hotel in Spain to broadcast their services, rooms and hospitality live on your website. Your get tourists on your website and the hotel gets publicity and guests. The benefits are endless; you only need to let your imagination run wild!!! Look for our streaming live webtv ebook here!
