Government Meetings

Streaming Video Has the Floor

From governmental bodies to corporate enterprises to charitable organizations, associations across the globe are discovering the unparalleled communication effectiveness new Internet technologies are delivering to their organizations. For government, access to these new and innovative technologies is helping to drive public participation in the proceedings and activities that affect all of us.

Streaming video provides greater access to the members of any community - regardless of resource limitations or budgetary constraints. Some states are now required, by law, to publicly broadcast their City Council meetings. Companies are achieving greater efficiencies through delivery of executive messaging to internal and external audiences and by providing training content instantly, on-demand, to any location.

If you represent one of these organizations and you are faced with implementing an open meetings online initiative, ViewCast offers simplified, user-friendly streaming systems that enable a non-technical user to tackle this seemingly daunting task quickly.

To ensure the best streaming experience for the user and audience, start with ViewCast encoders. For open meeting formats, ViewCast recommends our Niagara 2100, Niagara® GoStream® SURF, or Niagara Pro II.

The Niagara GoStream SURF is designed for capturing on location audio and video in demanding environments. It offers simultaneous Internet and mobile streaming in multiple resolutions, multiple formats and at multiple bit rates - all in a small, light, yet extremely durable self-contained unit. The Niagara GoStream SURF is the most powerful portable streaming appliance available. It's ideal when multiple broadcast quality streams are needed.

The Niagara Pro II is called the professional's choice because it has enjoyed huge popularity with professional broadcasters. But it is also perfect for professionals in business that need to project the utmost image. It captures, encodes, streams and archives professional grade digital video and audio. It delivers simultaneous streaming in multiple resolutions at multiple data rates in multiple streaming formats, including Windows Media®, Adobe® Flash® and 3GPP mobile formats.

The Niagara 8224 is the ViewCast high-density media encoder, designed and optimized to capture, encode, stream and archive premium-quality audio and video on up to eight channels at the same time. This powerful system is the ideal choice for simultaneously creating select combinations of full- and CIF-resolution streams for your most demanding multi-channel applications, such as streaming multiple traffic cameras for state and local government or remotely viewing surveillance cameras for security, military and law enforcement.
