[Hidden-tech] web streaming

[Mark Firehammer]

Wow!  I've got news for you.  Forget about $10,000!!  You can stream that
event yourself for free using http://www.ustream.tv/ as long as you have the
following already on site:
 
A computer with a high speed DSL or cable connection
A USB webcam and microphone. (Quality cam makes a difference.)  Many
camcorders have a streaming setting.
 
My guess is you'll want to be able to zoom and pan in a  church event
setting with moving subjects and all, so you'll need a camcorder with stream
capability. There are new ones available for about $200. 
If you want Multi channel sound and multiple cameras an investment of
another $500  to $1000 would be required for needed hardware.  Plus the cost
of extra cameras.
I've been using it for 4 months.  We use a multi channel sound board and
have the capability for live callers on air. Total investment:  $500 and we
can broadcast all day everyday if we wanted to.  
 
Let me know if you need help, I can save you some time in addition to the
$9500 you just saved! : )

Hi,

I am involved in staging an event at a church in New York City next fall. I
had suggested that is would be cool to live stream the event over the
internet.

Someone looked into it and was given an estimate that it would cost a
prohibitive $10,000. 

Does anyone have any idea what a realistic range for live web streaming of
an event of say, 2 hours duration, should cost?

The church already has a web site and has a welcome video on it, for what
that may be worth.
