”EVENTS”
INTERNET BROADCASTING PACKAGE
FOR AUDIO AND VIDEO

This package is intended for organizations that have multiple or recurring events. Events are broadcast live and may be simultaneously recorded for later listening or viewing.

We broadcast a variety of events for a number of organizations such as Dartmouth College, Northern State University, and the Boardwalk Bullies AAA hockey team. These events include all types of sports and other school events such as graduations. We also webcast for financial services broadcasters that only broadcast at selected times, such as at the start and close of the markets. One of our financial services customers broadcasts and webcasts a live program at 6 am which we re-webcast at 8 and 10 am, then they broadcast and webcast another program at noon which we re-webcast at other selected times of the afternoon and evening. Another customer, The Bald Truth, broadcasts a specialty program about hair loss and treatments on Sunday nights -- we webcast that program and make “archives” available for later listening. We can pretty much do anything anyone might want in webcasting live or recorded content.

How It Works

• You need a webcasting server computer that encodes your source material and transmits it to our data center -- we can provide you with a suitable server pre-loaded with all the necessary software. This server must have a full-time connection to the Internet.
• You make a simple listing in a text file on that server with the date and time of each event. You can change this schedule moment-to-moment, and it’s as easy as you could imagine. You can create recurring events or one-time events. An event listing for August 12 might look like:
  2004/08/12 11:00am - 2004/08/12 01:00pm
• You connect your audio/video source to the encoder server.
• The encoder automatically turns on at the preset time of each event, and turns off at the corresponding pre-set time. While the encoder is turned on, it simultaneously records the event while it broadcasts the event to our data center
• Your audience clicks on a “listen live” button on your web site to access the “stream” as it is being broadcast live.
• When the event is over, the recorded file is automatically transferred to our data center.
• You post a link on your web page in association with each recorded (“archived”) file -- when a listener or viewer clicks on that event link they are connected to our data center and we rebroadcast that event to them.

It is simple and automatic. You can easily set up and manage hundreds of events a year with little effort and no worries.
