24 x 7 "Always On" Streaming

Our VividStream 24x7 streaming service is aimed at regular users of live streaming such as internet radio or TV stations; conference or seminar organisers producing several events per month or users who are monitoring activities remotely, often for security reasons.

This service offers substantial discounts over our LiveStream service which is aimed at one-off or less frequent usage. These prices are achieved by our buying bandwidth in advance which is why a minimum commitment of one year is required to sign up for VividStream.

The cost of a 24x7 streaming service varies according to:

  • The number of users that are likely to connect to the webcast
  • The quality of the webcast

The calculator below will give you approximate costs for this package or you can download a price list here.

NOTE: Pricing is based on the maximum number of concurrent viewers / listeners and the quality of stream required.

Rule of Thumb (i)

64 Kbps is perfect for streaming good quality audio, 300 Kbps for a good quality video stream (this will give the viewer a standard 320x240 viewing screen).

Rule of Thumb (ii)

Most people with a standard broadband connection will not be able to webcast a live stream of more than 300 Kbps without some breaks in transmission.

It is extremely unusual for a webcast to generate anywhere near the maximum amount of concurrent users. All our VividStream packages have a good safety margin to ensure you don't compromise on quality or end up with a bill for extra bandwidth usage.

  • Our pricing is based on offering a number of concurrent connections to your broadcast.
  • A broadcast can have up to a maximum of 500 concurrent connections.

We are also able to archive webcasts to enable users to control the viewing of the webcast in their own time. This provides the added ability of being able to fast-forward, rewind and replay as required (on demand viewing), just like a more conventional DVD player.

If you are unsure as to which package is suitable for your event or simply need some expert advice on how to ensure your event stream runs perfectly then contact us and we'll be more than happy to help out.
