  • An Introduction to Internet Radio
    NB: This version was updated with new Internet Radio products on 26 October 2005 (see page 8). INTERNET RADIO AnInternet introduction to Radio Franc Kozamernik and Michael Mullane EBU This article – based on an EBU contribution to the WBU-TC Digital Radio Systems Handbook – introduces the concept of Internet Radio (IR) and provides some technical background. It gives examples of IR services now available in different countries and provides some guidance for traditional radio broadcasters on how to adapt to the rapidly changing multimedia environment. Traditionally, audio programmes have been available via dedicated terrestrial networks broad- casting to radio receivers. Typically, they have operated on AM and FM terrestrial platforms but, with the move to digital broadcasting, audio programmes are also available today via DAB, DRM and IBOC (e.g. HD Radio in the USA). However, this paradigm is about to change. Radio programmes are increasingly available not only from terrestrial networks but also from a large variety of satellite, cable and, indeed, telecommunications networks (e.g. fixed telephone lines, wire- less broadband connections and mobile phones). Very often, radio is added to digital television plat- forms (e.g. DVB-S and DVB-T). Radio receivers are no longer only dedicated hi-fi tuners or portable radios with whip aerials, but are now assuming the shape of various multimedia-enabled computer devices (e.g. desktops, notebooks, PDAs, “Internet” radios, etc.). These sea changes in radio technologies impact dramatically on the radio medium itself – the way it is produced, delivered, consumed and paid-for. Radio has become more than just audio – it can now contain associated metadata, synchronized slideshows and even short video clips.

Television is important for enhancing national identity, providing an outlet for domestic media content and getting news and information to the public, which is especially critical in times of emergencies. Television programmes are also a principal source of news and information for illiterate segments of the population, some of whom are persons with disabilities.

  • Webcasting Overview.Pdf
    What is Webcasting? A webcast is a media file distributed over the Internet using streaming media technology. A webcast may either be distributed live or on demand. Essentially, webcasting is “broadcasting” over the Internet. Think of it as TV on the Internet, the similarity being that one message is broadcast to many viewers. It is different however, in that each viewer has a connection back to the point of delivery, or the server. There are two scenarios: Live and Archive (sometimes referred to as Video on Demand, or VOD). Each requires the following: Video origin -> Video Server -> Video Player When live, the Video origin is an encoder that basically compresses the video as it receives it from a camera or VCR/DVD and sends this compressed stream to a Server. The Server is capable of duplicating that single stream into many streams, which is what the Player connects to. The Player is the software that is on the computer of the person who wishes to watch the video, and uses the computer monitor and speakers to present the video to the viewer. For Archive, or VOD, the video is previously captured and usually edited, then compressed to the streaming format and placed on the server. From here the Server delivers the stream to the Player, when the user clicks on a link. This is the essence of webcasting - taking video from a point of origin and delivering it to many viewers, using the Internet. Reasons to Webcast • Dramatically widen access to information and events • The connection made by audio and video is unparalleled.

  • Event Live Streaming Cheat Sheet
    Event Live Streaming Cheat Sheet Unravelling the Mystery of Live Streaming Our intent is to educate you, the event coordinator/producer, about the overall live streaming process. This applies whether you are planning to do the job yourself or hire a professional live streaming provider. You might be wondering why you should bother reading this if you are hiring someone to take care of the details for you. Well frankly, it’s in your best interest to have a top-level understanding of what’s involved so that you can be informed of your options and choose the right vendor for your particular event. The Live Streaming Process In its simplest form, the live streaming process can be divided into three phases: Acquisition, Transmission, and Distribution (refer to the diagram above). If you follow the signal flow via the arrows on the diagram, it looks fairly simple except perhaps understanding what some of those components are doing. Keep in mind that there are many variations that are possible with the signal path. What’s shown here is the most straight-forward concept for sake of illustration. So let’s take a closer look at each phase and discover the important take-aways. Acquisition This is the front-end production side which includes the cameras, microphones, PowerPoint images, pre- recorded videos, titles, graphics, and video switcher. In short, all the equipment and crew that make your event look and sound like a professional television broadcast. All the various input devices end up being routed to the video switcher which cuts between cameras, adds video effects and in many cases adds the graphic elements as well.

  • Media Fusion and Future TV: Examining Multi-Screen TV Convergence in Singapore
    1 Media fusion and future TV: examining multi-screen TV convergence in Singapore Trisha T.C. Lin Assistant Professor, Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, [email protected] Abstract This study examines Singapore’s national media blueprint and industry stakeholders’ coping strategies in response to multi-screen TV development. The findings show Singapore muti-screen TV development is still at a nascent stage after launching Media Fushion and FutureTV plans in mid 2009. The policymakers play a key role to follow national media blueprint to unify the inter-industry and cross-country collaboration. TV operators and telcos are found to remediate themselves by harnessing the power of internet and mobile technologies for content innovation and distribution. To tackle the complicated convergent issues in multi-screen TV industry, this study proposes to separately regulate the technology-neutral platforms and diverse audiovisual content. It also recommends a pro-innovative policy with the light-touch licensing scheme and loose content regulation to facilitate the development of the next TV. Keywords: three-screen TV, multi-screen TV, convergence, media fusion, IPTV, mobile TV, cross-platform, TV technologies, TV market, TV policy 1. Introduction The prevalence of Internet and mobile technologies has shaped TV industry dramatically in video consumption, content creation and distribution, and business models. The convergent video technologies allow viewers to watch audiovisual content with personalized experiences cross three screens: TVs, computers, and mobile devices. Since 2009, “three-screen TV” has emerged as a trendy phrase which refers to the integrated solutions for multi-screen video consumption at anywhere, anytime (AT&T, 2010; Krazit, 2009).

  • There's a Lot More to the Digital Internet Radio (Webcast)
    There’s a lot more to the digital internet radio (webcast) listening experience than you may know. Obviously, the easiest way to listen is to use your smart phone or tablet to go to the station website and press the play button. The sound plays using your device’s default player and built-in speaker(s) which don’t even begin to reproduce the full quality of the webcast. Upgrade your player (optional): Player quality is important to ensure continuous, flawless playback. StreamS HiFi Radio app is a one-time $4.99 cost from iOS (iPhone) and Apple TV’s app stores, and is far and away the best player available. Don’t even bother with free players offered in the app stores or on the internet. They are difficult to use, have advertisements which interrupt use, are of poor quality, or all of these. If you don’t want to spend $4.99 for StreamS, just continue to use your device’s default player. Some of these are okay (iOS Safari), but none are great (yet). Upgrade your speaker(s): Regardless of which player you use, here are ways you can enhance your listening experience by taking advantage of the full feature set of the webcast: If you’re listening at home or at work, pair your phone or tablet to a Bluetooth speaker or earphones. This will provide an immediate improvement to the listening experience. There are a wide range of Bluetooth speakers, varying in size, quality and price. If your priority is sound quality, we recommend the Bose or Sonos lines and the Amazon Echo Plus or Echo Studio.
