    We can develop the web pages to host the webcasts, incorporating interactive features such as chat rooms, synchronized presentation, e-commerce, etc....

Live Events

In a 'live' webcast, while the event is being captured by a production crew, the audio and video feed is encoded immediately, and sent through a dedicated broadband connection to our media servers, which in turn, stream them in real time to  web-based audience.

Swiftech Internet specializes in the capture and webcast of 'live' events over the Internet. 'Live' events require special attention since they require the simultaneous execution of production, encoding and streaming.

On-demand Viewing

A pre-recorded tape or video captured event can be encoded and uploaded to our servers for later viewing. This is known as 'on-demand' webcasting. The video clip would be available for the audience for viewing anytime at their convenience, and is very   cost-effective.

Swiftech  Internet can edit, optimize and encode your video or audio recordings into a digital streaming media format, and provide the content hosting, for on-demand delivery over the Internet.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth determines the speed of information to be downloaded. With the improving bandwidth and internet access, video and audio broadcasting on the web is becoming increasingly attractive.

Swiftech Internet can encode for both Narrowband (56 kbps Dial-up modems) and Broadband (Dual ISDN-128kbps or xDSL/cable modem).
