The Webcast is being made using the technology Streaming Media,
a method for delivering audio/video over a network. The advantage of Streaming Media
is smooth frame rate. The disadvantage is that the quality of the image is dictated by the connection speed. So, you may notice
image degradation.
Unlike Streaming Media solution that produces video dictated by the connection speed, the
quality of JPEG images is always guaranteed. This means complete images of a
consistent quality are delivered for every video frame —
regardless of the bandwidth limitations on the local network, or other communication medium that is used.
