Streaming
video is the process of creating and delivering audio
and video content across the Internet such that many
viewers can simultaneously receive the data on a desktop
PC. Also known as video serving and Video on Demand
(VoD), this medium allows the user to receive, jump
to any point, or rewind and replay the presentation
at their convenience. The media stream cannot be saved
on the viewer's computer, nor can it be captured for
modification or redistribution.
The
original content is created and stored on a server for
delivery on demand or may be produced live and delivered
as a data stream in real time. Through the use of virtual
clips, presenters may create programs tailored to their
presentation needs.
There are three steps in creating and disseminating
video content over the Internet.
1. Creation
of the original video and audio content
2. Compression of the video into a format suitable for
network delivery
3. Digital delivery across the Internet to viewers'
desktops.
In the BELLE Project, streaming video will be used to
deliver events, information and instruction. Additionally,
faculty and staff will eventually incorporate streaming
media into their regular instructional routines as a replacement
for analog video devices such as VCRs and televisions.
