Convert IP Camera Streams for Broadcast

As the Internet grows and broadband capability has become the new standard, live information is now available worldwide. Live traffic cams, real-time weather maps, including radar and satellite imagery are available providing 24/7 realtime information. The problem is getting that information, which is usually Flash-based, into a broadcast or video on demand system in a compatible file format.

CamCaster™ provides the ability to tap into and display this vast amount of real-time information for your viewers. CamCaster can be used in combination with our Informa Graphics Engine as well to enable a broadcaster to display not only a live traffic cam but place a station ID and a news ticker below it that can be linked to RSS data that provides the viewer with additional information about what they are seeing on screen.

When CamCaster is used in conjunction with Firebird – the live web-feed can be placed in a window with additional local text information. CamCaster works well as a stand-alone solution or as a integrated part of your overall system and integrates the latest technology into your solution at a very affordable price.

Using CamCaster is as simple as using any Web Browser and comes with a browser-based ”speed-dial” so you can pre-set the cam feeds you will use most often and make them available for broadcast with just one mouse click. CamCaster comes pre-configured and all the necessary software is pre-installed, simply connect your CamCaster to the Internet, add it to your A/V router or Firebird and KVM switch and get started.
