Production Quality
Our system uses H.264 adaptive video transmitted via the any RTMP encoder. Most schools operate inexpensive hardware encoders which provide superior quality, are simple to use and require no computer.
Quality of production is important when marketing broadcasts to alumni and sponsors. It is our policy to coordinate with the participating institutions’s internship programs in order to enhance the quality and enjoyment of each event to the viewer. This provides the interns with valuable experience and in some cases academic credit.
