Technological advancement you should know to build the best live video streaming experience.
Learn more about this topic with the video streaming services for the
Internet and we recommend all the technological advancement to build live video
Streaming over the Internet which can be easily achieved thanks to Microsoft's
free Windows Media Encoder, as well as other online services. Below is a guide
to make our first live video transmission.
Capturing video, encoding it and transmitting it to be
viewed through a local network or online is a very simple process thanks to
Microsoft Windows Media Encoder. The necessary components that you need to
carry out the transmission are:
- Video camera with RCA or Firewire output

Video Streaming Services |
The Firewire connection was introduced by Apple and
serves to transmit data at high speed between digital equipment. There are 4
and 6 pin cables. Traditionally cameras and equipment such as laptops include
4-pin connections.
If you are looking for a camera to transmit video, we
recommend that you look for an option with the two alternatives to extract the
video since many streaming video provider uses it. If a camera includes Firewire, it will surely bring RCA
connection.
- Video capture card with RCA or a Firewire card
Note that some laptops already include the 4-pin
Firewire connection in their configuration. In some configurations, you will
have a computer with a 6-pin Firewire card and a 4-pin camera. It is important
to find the right cable to achieve the connection.
- Computer equipment to perform video coding.
We recommend a minimum configuration of 256 RAM (512
recommended), Pentium III processor of 1ghz or greater, sufficient disk space
(each hour of video is approximately 200mbs of space), Windows XP (for version
9 of the Media Encoder), or Windows 2000 (for version 7).
- Install the Windows Media Encoder.
The latest version available is Windows Media Encoder
9, running only in Windows XP. The download is approximately 9mbs. If you have
Windows 2000 or 98 you can install version 7.1 of this program.
- Broadband Internet connection and a public IP (if we want to transmit over the Internet)
At this point, it is important to consult our Internet
provider or the video streaming provider
since it has available connection options that we have and that include a
public IP. Normally, ADSL services are offered with a private IP that will not
allow transmitting video, but for an added value to the monthly fee, it is
possible to rent a public IP.
