Wirecast is an exciting tool for video streaming. It holds many advantages over Free Live Streaming tools such as Windows Media Encoder, QuickTime Broadcaster and Flash Media Encoder. Wirecast is a little more than a Live Encoder as it supports streaming with PowerPoint, Keynote and .PDF files. You can also deliver streams to different Streaming Servers so you’re not tied to one format for streaming delivery. One of the main items that separates Wirecast from other encoders is that it’s a full production switcher in software. You have a Program View, Preview View, Transitions, Lower Thirds, Effects, Videos for Playback and many other elements that you can use to enhance your webcast. Wirecast also provides one of the easiest ways of to add Picture-N-Pictures to your Webcast. Attend one of our 1-Day Wirecast Live Streaming Trainings to learn more about this exciting webcasting tool.

ESPN3 provides Live Streaming of professional sporting events. With streaming video becoming so popular ESPN has defiinitely taken notice and sees the large amount of interest in watching on-line sporting events. The launch of ESPN3 is meeting the need of viewers wanting to watch Live Streaming on the favorite sports. “The on-line viewing experience appears to be one of the best I’ve personally seen on the Web,” says Derrick Freeman, Instructor and Video Streaming and Compression Consultant for Freeman Compression Inc. ESPN3 is a video streaming portal that allows viewing of Live Streaming and Replays with Live Chat and Stats. For the Live Streaming you can watch one sporting event at full screen or up to four Live Streaming events in Mosaic View. There is even a Picture-N-Picture view that you can use.
Recently, I had a chance to watch a few games from the NBA Playoffs and the experience is exceptional. The quality setting can be adjusted manually or automatically to utilize the available bandwidth of the on-line viewer. If you haven’t had a chance to check out ESPN3’s Live Streaming make sure you take it for a test spin.
