Live video streaming over the internet is nowadays considered as a popular method of communicating online. In India, the advent of inexpensive webcams, video camcorders or broadband internet allows people to stream themselves online over the internet using their computers.
Streaming
In case of downloading a file from the internet, the entire file is first saved on your computer and you have to wait for the entire file to download before you can view any of its content. This may not be an inconvenience for files of smaller size but it can be very time consuming for larger files.
Here, video streaming comes as an advantage as no waiting is involved as you can start viewing the file as soon as it begins to download. It has an additional benefit of live video streaming which can be used to broadcast live events, for weekly meetings or video conferencing in offices and any more.
For these purposes, you can rely on the services provided by Epitome Solutions. How streaming works?
The process of streaming requires three components that are compatible with each other- a player, server and stream of data.
The following processes are involved: - You click the media file or the link on a webpage you want to access.
- The web server which hosts the webpage then requests the media file from the streaming server.
- The software used by the server to stream the file breaks the file to fragments & sends it to your computer using a set of protocols.
- The plug-in browser on your computer then decodes and displays the data on its arrival.
- The computer then discards the data.

The quality of the media file received depends on the bit rate or the transfer speed from the server to the computer. Someone with reliable broadband connection can watch the files efficiently but problems occur for those using a dial up modem, or in other words, those with slow net speed. In such a case, you can rely on Epitome solutions which streams videos live at around 75 & 120 Kbps. It is not only restricted to computers or laptops but live video streaming can be done from smart phones and tablets too.
Live video streaming is very useful for real time conversations in offices for business meetings, for video conferencing, announcements by any head person to the workers of the company and many more.
Live video streaming is also helpful for teaching purposes. One can develop a virtual classroom and provide real time lectures and interactive sessions for the students. The teachers can also record their lectures and presentations and share them on their sites and direct their students to their lectures.
