How do I set up my computer to broadcast a live webcast
in Real format?
Streaming wizard has webcast live events of all sizes ranging
from single viewing conferences to pop bands with thousands
of simultaneous viewers. The following information provides
you with all the information you need to know to connect to
our servers and run your own live webcast.
a) To webcast, first of all you will need the appropriate
webcasting software. We recommend Helix Producer. The basic
version is available free of charge from Real Networks, or
alternatively if you are going to be creating lots of on-demand
and live webcasts it is well worth while purchasing the full
version. Please check that your computer meets the minimum
specification.
b) Connect your webcast media devices (camera, microphone
etc) to your computer, and install the Helix Producer software
on your machine.
c) Start up Helix Producer and on the left hand side select
your input devices (this can be a pre-recorded file or you
can connect directly to your media devices.
d) If appropriate set the duration of the event.
