Was it just to get a better picture quality, ie a want rather then a need?
We'd have to hear from jviola to know the specific answer, but I can give a more general answer.

The Meetinghouse Webcast Requirements suggest a minimum of 400kbps for "Good" quality and 600kbps for "Best" quality (on the sending end -- 300-450kbps on the receiving end). So if you were able to pull this off with only 250kbps, then that's great, but it certainly seems reasonable to aim for the speeds specified in the requirements.

Also note that one may not be able to guarantee that there is no other activity using Internet bandwidth during the webcast, so it is prudent to have a reasonable margin beyond the minimums specified in the requirements.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

Slingbox

Post by dodom »

Ok, i've read this forum with interest, but I'm still missing something. If you are broadcasting over the web with slingbox, I thought that slingbox is limited to one recipient (computer). What if you are trying to broadcast to 5 locations, or 10 etc?

Most of the folks here are not using Slingbox, but a product and servers provided by the church. There's one upload stream and as many download sites as needed (within reason).
