How big is a webcast or streamed picture on a computer?
You can make a picture as big or as small as you like. However there are limitations that can affect the size. We recommend transmitting at 384 x 288 pixels. In reality, on modern PC displays running at 1024 x 768, this means the webcast or streamed video is about 1/6th of the display size. However, the on-screen player that is displaying the picture to the viewer can be switched into 2 x or full screen mode, meaning the webcast or streaming can be made to fill the entire computer screen. Then the viewer can sit back, away from the computer desk, and watch the monitor as they would a television. We often find this is a better experience than sitting at a desk. You can even put a programme into a projector and project it onto a large screen in a hall or large room if you have lots of viewers.
