hi peeps

 

so the time has come to review some of our options in streaming.

ideally, we should be using a white label service we can brand and

control. but that takes $$$.

 

in the meantime:

 

- tonight for a client i tried to stream using Procaster 20.2 - what a

nightmare - grabs all system resources and lists usage at 100% and

leads to total stream fail. i'm testing later which version to roll

back to successfully and will let you know. its a known issue in the

livestream forums. ugh...

 

- i've also used wirecast - which version Vlad are we shooting to use?

v3.x is pretty stable but 4.x is nicer. i'm not sure if there are

newer versions. the audio issues, however, ugh...

 

- a new player - Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder - works with

livestream accounts - lets test this - supposedly CPU/mem lite

 

eventually, for the studio, i see a Tricaster 850 and HDMI cameras -

but that's down the road. we should see if we can find a livestream

white label service that might donate or give a discount. livestream

is so wonky lately and frustrating to work with.

 

what other options - Ustream, Justin.tv, Blip.tv? Boinxtv? also some

other services that aren't big brands...suggestions?

 

lets actively research a longer term solution.
