| Imagine
being able to broadcast live from anywhere, anytime.
STL-IP
Connect will get you on-air,
live, from anywhere there's an Internet connection
(or a private connection to your IP network). And once you start
thinking about it, that is pretty much anywhere.
- At
home you probably have DSL or some other internet access.
- WiFi
hotspots are available in parks, shops, offices, hotels, coffee
shops and more.
- Most
companies you'll visit will have a network connected to the Internet.
- You
may already have a mobile phone that's capable of 3G or other
high-speed internet access.
- You
may have access to satellite based internet services or a portable
satellite terminal.
You
can also use STL-IP Connect over an existing company LAN at your
radio station - so you can do a live report from your desk instead
of going into the studio. Then again, your desk might even be in
another building... no problem it works over the company WAN too.
The
STL-IP Connect system works in the following way:
- The
STL-IP Connect software installs on your Laptop or PC.
- You
connect your microphone and headphones to your Laptop - the built
in soundcard is normally sufficient quality for news use.
- You
can also use a professional audio interface, or we can supply
USB headsets which are very easy to use and offer excellent quality
(and they are hands free!).
- You
connect to the studio (where they have the STL-IP rackmount unit
installed) and do your live report... STL-IP Connect gives a live,
studio quality, low delay connection that is bi-directional (so
you can get program cue back in your headphones if needed).
The
File Playback functionality allows you to use pre-produced
audio on your computer during a live connection. For example, you
might use clips of an earlier interview or audio recorded at a press
conference during a live broadcast. Or you might use this function
to send an entire report that you have pre-produced on your computer
back to the studio, or play it into the program live. |
