Definition of Video Streaming, Broadcasting, and More Explanation




When you come across – and use – terms like video streaming, broadcasting, and more, you are expected to know, understand, as also be able to explain what each of these terms means; not just broadly, but exactly. Solely on this information and knowledge of yours can depend the development of any wise interaction – and thereby business – related to video streaming, broadcasting, and associated matters that you choose to involve yourself in.
Let us, therefore, look at what some common video related terms and expressions are defined and explained as, shall we?
Video Streaming: This is a kind of media streaming in which data from a video file is delivered to a user over the internet. This process allows a user to view a video online, without having to download it to a device, or host computer, first. Learners can access video content presented before them either in a synchronous, or asynchronous manner. The video that is being streamed can be either a live, or a recorded one – not allowing much of interaction, what with the core content flowing one way – to the audience. However, in recent times, it can be possible for some video streaming solutions to have features that can enable users to
ü Share content
ü Edit
ü Have live chats
ü Tag
ü Post messages
and in this manner, promote interaction.
Broadcasting: This is the process of distributing audio / video content -- via any electronic medium of mass communications – to dispersed audiences.
In education, video can be delivered in three basic ways –
One-way Video: The one-way video, as the name indicates, is not an interactive one. It can be
·       Real-time, instructor-based satellite TV
·       On-demand streaming video
·       Time-ruled, packaged, broadcast TV
Two-way Interactive Video: This interactive process can include
·       VTC / Video Teleconferencing
·       CAVE / Compressed Interactive Video
·       Interactive Videoconferencing
On-demand Video: This can be delivered to the user via the internet, on demand, or be locally based.
Lecture Capture System: This is essentially a subset of video streaming products to have been designed for the express purpose of recording and managing lectures / classroom content which students / learners can gain access to, at any time later on. Lecture Capture Systems can automatically blend productivity tools such as
·       Video Clips
·       PDF Files
·       Surveys
·       PowerPoint
·       Polls
·       Flash Animation
and
·       Other rich media content
along with audio and video. This system also helps make content searchable.
Whichever one of these video-related matters you wish to associate yourself with – as a learner, entrepreneur, or in any other capacity, you certainly have a better idea of the concept now, and can proceed with greater confidence.
You can get in touch with us at Ascentspark Software, if you want a consultation regarding video streaming  -- free of charge, of course – and also in case you require customized solutions.
