Applications and Concept

With the latest requirements for e-democracy and e-government, webcasting of council meetings is becoming commonplace. This is one way of using technology to effectively engage citizens and ensure transparency, accountability and accessibility.

Applications are not just limited to local government, councils or public sector organisations; any company wishing to engage with its shareholders or stakeholders can use the DIS 7001 webcasting package to broadcast meetings and conferences on the internet.

The DIS 7001 package integrates with the DIS microphone discussion system to allow meetings to be viewed as a webcast or be archived for access on the internet at a later date on-demand.

Capabilities

The SW 7001 Audio/Video Streaming and Archiving software is used together with the DCS 6000 and SW 6000 to broadcast (stream) sound or sound/video as well as conference information live to the web and/or archive (record) the same. This enables users to search for specific subjects or delegates' speeches using a web browser.

The video is normally fed from one or more cameras, where switching of the picture and camera pan/tilt/zoom is controlled based on RS232 messages from the SW 6000-ECA application. The sound used in the media is normally the floor channel. It is also possible to use archived material and copy it for distribution through other medias i.e a CD.

The video presented is as standard 320 x 240 pixels but other resolutions can be used. The name of the Meeting, Subject and Speaker is presented below the video picture. Voting results will be presented as well.
