A: Streaming video allows computer users to begin viewing video clips stored on servers without downloading the entire file. After a short period to initialize and buffer the file, it begins to “stream,” or play, in real time.

 Top

A: Picture quality is determined by your available bandwidth (download speed) and your computer processor speed. Computers with older processors and slower modem connections will not deliver the highest quality viewing experience. The production values are also influenced by the quality of the video equipment and lighting used to capture the images; this equipment partially determines picture quality and clarity.

 Top

A: Yes, we produce video for multiple uses. For instance, we can archive your steaming video by creating pages on your Web site that contain unique URLs with indexed viewable videos on each page. Your footage can also be edited for other uses that can benefit your organization.

 Top

A. The video stops temporarily because of Internet Traffic Congestion - this usually occurs at peak times because large numbers of users are on the Web at the same time, using up all the bandwidth.

 Top

A. No - video designed for high-speed connections will be slow and choppy if viewed with a dial-up modem. However, these days this is not much of an issue since the majority of viewers who watch video already have high-speed connections, especially in North America.

 Top

A. High-Speed is more common especially in north America, but increasingly so also in Asia and Europe.

 Top

A. No - streaming video can play off any ordinary hosting server using a technology known as "Progressive Dowbload"

 Top

A. Not these days, no. Most systems, especially all the newer ones, come preinstalled with Flash Player on their browsers and Flash Videos should be what you should stream your video with. Flash is available on 99% of all systems and on 100% of new systems.

 Top

A. Any browser will do.

 Top

A. Compression and Encoding factors such as Bit Rate - the higher the bit rate, the better the quality but the greater the chance of the video slowing down on a slow connection. Streaming Video quality is always a compromise between image quality and speed.

 Top

A: Our streaming video production services are professional broadcast quality. Some competitors work with personal digital video cameras that cost less that US$500 and were designed to capture family videos. We use professional quality, 3CCD camcorders with XLR audio inputs for high-quality sound and professional lighting setups, either in our studio or on location at your venue. Call us if you want professional broadcast quality video services for your next project.
