The term 'High Definition' relates to the resolution and perceived quality of a video. The average video stream is usually distributed at a low resolution so that even users on slow internet connections can watch (example resolution: 320 x 180 pixels). High Definition streaming has a much larger frame size (1280 x 720 pixels). For viewers who don't have the broadband capability to support HD video streaming we provide a lower bandwidth option in the viewing window.
We can accommodate many thousands of viewers. Because our network is instantly scalable, even a rapid increase in viewers will be handled seamlessly.
All of our streams are password protected (unless you require otherwise). From encoding, through to watching, we provide secure access to our media servers. We can also cater for any Geo-Blocking requirements you may have (viewing restrictions based on location of viewer). 128-bit encryption is available (HTTPS and RTMPS) for all of our services.
3G video can be streamed via our CDN. However, because most phone handsets do not support Flash video, some special knowledge of streaming is required. Please contact us for more information or advice.
