Instant Live Streaming Video

Your Own TV-station in Your Website?
Ever dreamt of starting your own tv-station in your Website? LiveStream makes the first step possible: putting real-time live images directly on the Web, instantly visible for anyone logging in to your Website - no waiting, no plug-ins, no downloads at all! Never! Running the program won't cost you more than a few minutes. But don't forget: you also have to be the producer and director, and provide interesting footage! Please, don't transmit your own backyard - go to some event, why not put a camera in your own plane, hook it up to your computer on earth and fly over Beverly Hills! LiveStream does the rest!

But Seriously
If you don't happen to own a plane, you can of course do a lot of other fantastic things:

• Your company can run full live demos of your products � worldwide!
• Put a ballet, a musical or a concert live on the Web
• Your college can show live pix of your big games and science experiments in the lab. See for instance what NASA does live on the Web.
• Show pictures of the opening of an exhibition.

So: What Is LiveStream?
It is a high-speed grabber, that can work with any video input: camera, player, disc-player - you name it. The program turns these pix into JPEG, providing the best quality digitized images. These are compressed to an absolute minimum, zipped with lightning speed and sent to your Netscape server. You guessed it right: the server does not need to sit next to the grabbing computer - it can be thousands of miles away. The receiving computer is probably your Netscape-server. Here, a LiveStream application for Netscape gets active and sends the stream of pix to the visitors surfing on your site. This application automatically adjusts for the speed of connection, the visitor's computer and his modem. That means live remains real-time: no waiting for newer pictures, because you get them on screen all the time, as the connection allows. You always put the newest picture through. Server-push, as it's also known.

ILSV
For this reason, LiveStream is one of the very few programs that can carry the 'ILSV'-designation, Instant Live Streaming Video. Other programs may offer you live pictures, even without downloading any players first. But when you log on, it suddenly says, 'This LIVE picture refreshes every 15 seconds' - imagine that while you're watching the Superbowl!
