Stream-In, automated broadcasting via the Internet
Designed for radios, Stream-In is a full hardware and software solution for both live or delayed broadcasting via the Internet. This program automatically manages acquisition, conversion, storage and transfer of audio and/or video data to a Web site or broadcasting server. It digitises and encodes the files in either one or two formats (Real Video and/or MPEG4) and then drops them in the targeted Internet server.
The Stream-In settings functions give the technician the ability to accurately specify all the conditions and characteristics of a broadcast: manual or automatic, live or delayed, Web site address, encoding format, type of compression, etc. In automatic mode, the user defines the start time and duration and can also define an external trigger mode (GPI).
Stream-In is a global system integrating all technical and operating requirements. It has a day-by-day event log sent out by e-mail. An automatic watchdog is integrated to detect and warn of any software operating anomaly. In addition, Stream-In manages data storage by means of automatic archiving and purge functions which can be set as required.
Podcasting
Radio needs evolve constantly towards more multi-support broadcast. Loyal to this multicast philosophy, the Podcaster module allows to publish the online content very quickly.
The user builds his playlist of sounds with "Clickmove" from the NETIA database, then records it as ready for publication. The transcribing and the online transfer are done via a completely automatic procedure. The datas associated to the podcast are directly extracted from the database, then sent via a XML file in RSS format.
