The XFrame System can be used as a streaming broadcasting center. It can broadcast in WMV (Profiles 7 and 9) and WMA. It’s perfectly suited for broadcasting a TV transmission and watching it in a web page.

Streaming is the process of sending audio or video to a web page in a way that can be watched or listened immediately without first downloading it. It can be described as “Online playing”

Without streaming, to show any multimedia content in the web, the archive needs to be downloaded completely to be played. There are two drawbacks: First the client has to wait a long time before playing. Second the content can’t be played online because the server has to send the whole file before it can be played.

A Streaming System works this way. First a client connects to the streaming server, then the streaming server start sending the requested content. Next the client stores this data and when enough data is accumulated it starts to play. While playing the client continues storing data from the server.

Broadcasting using XFrame

XFrame is an integral environment for multimedia continuity. It has all the tools and applications to carry out every task of any radio or TV station. The multimedia can be stored in professional video formats (DV25, DV50, MJPEG, H263, H264, MPEG I FRAME, etc) and professional audio formats (MP2, MP3, WAV).

The system has been adapted to route the broadcast to an audio/video professional card and data stream in WMV/WMA formats for live broadcasting on the web.

This stream enables the Windows Media Server to access XFrame broadcasting. So it can be used as platform to deliver live multimedia content over internet.
