L is for Live

NCH Software ABCs Series

Software to Stream and Broadcast Live Audio and Video from your PC
Broadcast Live Audio
Use BroadWave audio streaming software for broadcasting online radio, or airing live concerts, podcasts and events. You can stream content coming from any audio input connected to your computer and the streamed audio can be played in all popular web browsers.

Broadcast Live Video
For streaming video or motion jpegs BroadCam video streaming software allows you to set up live video streams from sources such as a webcam or network IP camera. All viewers need to tune in is a flash plugin installed on their web browser or Windows Media Player. This makes BroadCam an ideal solution for broadcasting video announcements, lectures, events and more.

Both of these streaming programs can also be used to host and stream finished and edited recordings, but don't forget that broadcasting live is also an option. When you have a message or event you want to get out immediately, without the delay recording, editing or uploading your audio or video content, BroadCam and BroadWave can make it happen.

How Many People Can You Stream Media To?

Stream video and audio from your PC computerIf you have music, audio files or videos that you want to share with your friends or put on a business website, you have a lot of options including posting on Facebook, YouTube, web servers and more. BroadWave streaming audio software and BroadCam streaming video software are a wonderful choice for hosting and sharing files with people directly from your computer, making it easy to put content up, take content down, invite specific people to listen or view, or even stream live content in addition to pre-recorded content.

But then the question becomes how many people can listen or view your content at once? To figure out how large an audience you can handle, you need to know two things. What the outgoing bandwidth is on your internet connection, and the bitrate of the file or stream that you are broadcasting. For example, if you have a podcast streaming at 128 kbps and you have 1536 kbps of upload bandwidth, you can support 1536/128 = 12 simultaneous listeners.

To help you make the calculations for your computer, here is a Streaming Bandwidth Calculator and an Internet Speed Test that can tell you what your download and upload speeds are.
