The T-Cast webcasting platform of Televic Conference is a powerful extension of your
conference system. It takes your audio, video and metadata from your conference
system and processes it, ready for streaming over the internet.
Thanks to the service in the cloud that comes with the system you don’t have to
worry about what device the viewers are using to watch your webcast. The cloud
service takes care of optimizing your stream for the device: tablet, smartphone,
laptop or desktop.
Within minutes after the end of the broadcast, the meeting is available for on-demand
viewing on your portal. Viewers can watch the archived Webcast and search by topic,
speaker and party.
Webcasting is the single most effective way to involve your citizens and officials in local
politics. And equally important: Webcasting will save you money as well!
After all, it replaces written minutes and verbatim or summary reports.
Webcasting is broadcasting over the internet and is based on the ‘One to Many’ principle. With a Webcast you can
reach your entire target group all at once and from one location.
Webcasting allows you to harness the power of audio, video and PowerPoint slides, so that your target group can
follow a presentation or meeting live over the internet. Optionally, viewers can participate interactively in the Webcast.
The Live Webcast is available
on demand immediately after
the end of the meeting or
presentation. This means that
your audience can decide for
themselves when to watch.
Time and location have become
irrelevant.

T-Cast EncoderConference System
The conference system enables the chairman and meeting participants to have a meeting following a certain protocol.
The system allows the speech of each participant to be captured and camera’s to automatically point at the person that is speaking at a given moment in time.
The audio and video, captured during the meeting, are sent to the T-Cast encoder. The conference system provides additional information such as speaker identification and current agenda topic that is used by T-Cast to enrich the viewers experience.
The T-Cast Encoder records the audio and video information, as well as the data coming from the conference system such as speaker and agenda information.
Simultaneously the T-Cast Encoder transforms all these signals into one stream and sends it straight to a cloud service using an internet connection. There the meeting is stored and redistributed to whomever is watching.
The T-Cast encoder has local storage capabilities. This ensures that recording continues in the event that the internet connection is interrupted. As soon the internet connection is restored, streaming to the cloud continues and no information is lost. This all happens automatically, without manual intervention.
