Below is more information more specific to the type of streaming you may need. Looking for WowzaMedia Streaming, check back soon as we implement this new upcoming technology also.

To better explain how this all works I will answer some of the most common questions below (these will also be in our FAQs section):

• What is FMIS?
FMIServer software offers a unique combination of powerful streaming with a flexible environment for creating and delivering rich, interactive, multiway social media experiences to the broadest possible audience. Since it uses the Adobe Flash Player, and the Adobe Flash player has a 99% penetration, there is no download required making it very easy to use. Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server(FMSS) and Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server(FMIS) are the most widely used streaming platforms available.
• What is the difference between streaming a recorded video and progressive downloading a recorded video?
Progressive download makes the viewer download the video, for large files this can be tedious at best. Streaming your videos from an FMIServer, the viewer only downloads what they are viewing, the viewer can also 'seek' to any part of the movie he wants. This helps reduce bandwidth usage and increase viewer satisfaction. Recorded videos streamed by an FMIServer can also be streamed based on the viewers connection speed (it provides the best size format based on the connection of the viewer), and the viewer can be timed for access of the videos.
• What is a FMIS CC (Concurrent Connection)?
A FMIS CC is one single connection to the FMIServer, video, audio, and chat along with a few other things can all be transferred via this connection. EXAMPLE: If you have 25 CCs you have 25 open channels that allow a viewer/broadcaster to connect to the FMIServer, to use all 25 CCs you would have to have 25 people connected to the application for 24/7/365. So say you have 50 members at your membership site; chances are good that not all 50 will show up for the live show; your live show starts and 10 people show up (11 CCs in use now, 1 for streaming live to server and 10 watching the stream); after about 5 minutes 2 people show up, but 1 has to go (12 CCs in use); 20 mins in 10 more people show up, but 5 have left (17 CCs in use); 30 mins in 5 leave and 4 arrive (16 CCs in use); ETC... Now of course if you know the show is going to be packed then you can always purchase 25 more CCs with just a call.
• What are the limitations to your software?
Our software (including VBS non-lease package) has no built in limitations, you are only limited by the FMIServer CCs, these can be leased from us at very reasonable prices. You always, also, have the option of purchasing your own FMIServer license and leasing your own server to put the license on, this would provide you with roughly 1500-2000 CCs.
