What do I need to get started?

How does it work?

Once the encoding software is installed on your PC, it will then become your live streaming encoder. The live feed or broadcast will be connected to this PC through a audio/video card generally installed in the PC. This encoding software will then "convert" (encode) your live signal to be sent out to the NetroMedia streaming platform through a secure connection. From there NetroMedia will rebroadcast this signal to as many of an audience as you want or need.

Streaming with Windows Media Encoding - How does it work?

Microsoft Windows Media Encoder is a powerful production tool for converting audio and video into files that can be streamed via the NetroMedia server matrix. Here are two articles that can help to understand what streaming with windows is all about:

NetroMedia’s live streaming platform comes with two additional powerful streaming features:

1. BufferBlaster

BufferBlaster is a component to NetroMedia’s service which can dramatically reduce startup aka "buffering" time. Using advanced networking technologies, NetroMedia can actually speed load your clients that are capable of receiving a higher rate of bandwidth than your stream is actually running at. For example, you may have a 1 minute video encoded at 300k that a user on a corporate network wishes to stream. Instead of sending him 300k during the buffering stage, BufferBlaster will take full advantage of the end users available bandwidth. BufferBlaster will speed load the content at blazing speeds that can actually out run a DVD player.

2. FireStream

NetroMedia’s FireStream technology is a revolutionary step in the streaming industry. Do you have users that have problems accessing your streams due to corporate networks, firewall's etc.? FireStream will leap right over any network firewall. If your end users can access your website, they will be able to access your stream. FireStream lets you get your media where other streamers simply will not go. FireWall issues are toast.
