I really don't know where to start with this. Who's an expert on streaming live video? Got questions...
What would I need in terms of hardware, software, connection speed, and bandwidth, to post a live or pre-recorded video online, for about 15-30 minutes? Would a PowerPoint slide show require less sophistication?
My partial T-1 line tested at 265 kbps for the email address. My web site tested at 195 kbps from Washington, DC, 244 kbps from Chicago, and 177 from Detroit, but only 33 kbps from Sydney, Ausralia. Is that sort of connection suitable to stream video? Do I need other information to determine suitability, or other provisions?
I would have to buy at least one video camera, I suppose. What makes a decent quality video online? I have already been advised to buy a 3-CCD camera. I was told 3 separate CDDs for red, green, and blue translates to better color rendition. Extreme resolution is not necessary, just 'normal' imaging quality would be good. Fast, accurate zoom capability of at least 4x would be important, too.
If a person were watching live streaming video, could a telephone conversation (conference call) provide interactive Q&A? Would there be a time delay or other problems with that idea? If a lot of people were watching, would that affect quality of the broadcast or reception for anyone?
