As AV-over-IP solutions become the norm, creating an intuitive streaming media ecosystem can be painless and cost-effective. In order to successfully stream to an audience, it’s important to first take inventory of the number of participants, room size and setup, specific needs, resolution requirements, and the type of content being presented before determining what technology will give you the best return on your investment. Do you need one camera or many? Are all of your participants on site, remote, or a mix? What are your network’s bandwidth capabilities? Do you want to employ the cloud? What resolution will provide the best experience? Is security a concern? What type of sound system do you have in place? Answering these types of questions early on in your process will help you design or select a solution well suited for your specific use case.
Products including Sony’s PTZ cameras, AI-based presentation solutions, and even Pro BRAVIA displays can help stream content on a practical level.
