An Introduction to Streaming Media & Live Web-casting
4th October 2002

Presenter: Derek Richards (HyperJAM)
What is 'Streamed Media?' Why is it important?
This is a new course from the BUFVC which will give participants an
understanding of the basic technologies and problems associated with
streaming time-based media, and to then investigate how to use these
technologies to web-cast live.
The course will cover:
* Basic server technologies; problems, how streaming works, bandwidth
issues, compression
* The benefits of web-casting, including access, automatic archiving,
interactive broadcasting
* Web-casting pre-production and production issues
* Practical exercises and demonstrations
* Coverage of the 'big 3' streaming technologies - Real, Microsoft
Windows
Media, Apple QuickTime
Throughout the day discussion and feedback will be encouraged. The
practical and economic considerations of different technologies will be
compared and participants will be encouraged to consider the needs of
the
Web-cast when creating original footage.
