Use on demand streaming to improve your communications! Making your videos:

• available for users to control their viewing and repeat viewing if they wish

On demand video and audio streaming is being adopted by many different types of industry, educational bodies, entertainment groups and individuals (see examples below). Don’t get left behind, join the streaming revolution now and benefit from:

• increased revenues
• increased productivity
• reduced overheads
• enhanced communications

On demand streaming is the term given to video or audio streams that have been pre-recorded and are available for visitors to play whenever they want, by simply clicking on a website hyperlink.

Streaming Wizard's "On Demand" service allows you to stream archived media content at anytime, day or night. It also enables your users to control the viewing of a video by being able to fast- forward, rewind and replay as required, just like a more conventional DVD player. On-demand streaming is suitable for any content that is not time-sensitive. (Unlike live streaming when the streaming begins at a specified time, and anyone who clicks the link later than that misses the beginning.)

We deliver your media content from our secure network of servers based around the world; all using highly scalable hardware, configured for optimal delivery of your media. We pre-install and manage all of the major streaming software including Helix, Windows Media, Darwin, Shoutcast and Flash Communication Servers. Where appropriate we can load balance them across our content delivery network for large scale deployments.

All you need to do is simply sign up for an account and store your media on our secure servers. Our Content Management System then dynamically creates all of the links to your streaming files for you to embed into your website.

We are able to host content of any size; from small one-off media projects through to large archives with high traffic requirements.

Streaming Wizard has experience in the on-demand streaming of a diverse range of webcasts, such as:

• Educational lectures, tutorials & distance learning
• Archived business meetings, conferences and annual reports, training
• Multimedia PowerPoint presentations which integrate video, audio, text and images
• Archived Council meetings, employee training videos, educational services and more
• Adopting streaming to enhance the recruitment process
• Entertainment, such as archived pop concerts
• Advertising

The cost of an on demand streaming service varies greatly depending upon:

• The length of the video
• The number of users that are likely to connect to the video
• The quality of the video

It is extremely straight forward to set up an on demand streaming account. All you have to do is sign up for an account and store your media on our secure servers.

We offer a selection of account packages that we recommend to the majority of our clients based upon average storage and usage levels. Alternatively we are happy to create a bespoke package for you if you have specific requirements such as large archives of video footage or high traffic requirements such as hosting top 40 pop videos.

The account you select will give you:

• A fixed amount of disk space, and;
• A corresponding amount for monthly data transfer (bandwidth)

This is the maximum amount that your streaming media visitors can view in any given month. The size of each individual stream and the number of streams will determine the monthly data transfer used.

We are always happy to provide advise on the account that will best suit your needs if you are a little unsure. If you require advice or more information, please contact us on tel: 01242 587734.
