How many people can view a streaming video image at one time?
Typically, as many as five people can view an iVISTA video webcast at the same time. However, a fast computer and broadband connectivity can increase the number of viewers, while a slow computer and/or slow Internet connection may result in fewer. • How much bandwidth do I need? When webcasting streaming media, there is a constant balancing act between maximizing the number of visitors and maximizing the quality of the video and audio feeds. Decide what results are important to you (high-quality media or large number of concurrent visitors), and calculate whether or not those expectations are within reach. To determine the number of viewers you will be able to support with your configuration, you will need to take several things into account: Number of concurrent viewers = maximum bandwidth/bandwidth usage per viewer. Your maximum bandwidth is easy to determine, ranging from 56 kilobits per second for a 56K modem to 1,000 kilobits per second for a T1 connection. (In our equations below
