STREAMING TECHNOLOGY

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Streaming Media?
Streaming media is live and/or archived audio, video, multimedia content, delivered in near realtime to an end user computer via the Internet or an Intranet. WBC Imaging believes that this is an ideal medium for the delivery of corporate communications and business information.

Why is streaming better than downloading?
When you download a file you must wait for the entire file to download before viewing it. This can greatly increase the amount of time and bandwidth resources it takes to view a presentation. Additionally many computers do not have the storage capacity to store a long presentation. Streamed presentations are experienced as they are downloaded, and generally not stored on the clients system. Viewers do not need to wait for the file to download to experience it.

Can anyone record my presentation?
The ability to record your presentation is controlled from the server, so you as the presentation owner has control over the ability to record.

What do I need to experience streaming media?
You will need a PC with a sound card and an Internet or network connection. You also will need a client player, WBC Imaging recommends the Real Networks G2 player which is available for free download. WBC Imaging maintains a link to the Real Networks site.

How much does it cost?
There are many factors involved in presentating a streaming presentation which makes it impossible to build a static price list. Archived audio-only events, targeted to a limited audience, will be correspondingly less expensive than an archived half hour video presentation that has an audience of millions. WBC Imagings sales and technical staff we be glad to discuss with you the options and pricing for your presentation.
