Internet has made possible to download and to play audio and video files in high quality many time ago, but to download a complete file demand a very long transferring time and not allow to watch or to hear it in real time.

The Streaming technology is the solution that enables the user to watch video content before the complete file download. Since the user receives a small part is able to start the listen or view the media file, while he is still flowing across the internet in a gradual and continuous stream from the streaming server to the user’s browser.

Video, audio and other media files are specially formatted and placed on a streaming server. When the user decides to watch the video Streaming technology produce two effects to maintain a flow apparently continuous for the user: the first one is storing data in a buffer space and the second one the dynamic change of the flow received by the “SureStream” functionality. At the moment the buffer has the basic data to guarantee the view the media player starts to show the video to the user.

Those who want to add streaming media to their Internet TV Platform sites will need access to a streaming server and special production software for creating specially formatted media files. HoopingTV can provide you both. As for our software is called “Codistream”, own production, and allow you to manage the complete process code and publish video on line.

Nothing. It is so simple that you only need to do a “click” or “copy paste”.

Yes. The streaming server uses two separate channels to exchange with the user. A Data Channel where they send media content and a Control Channel where they order and receive information like passwords and so on. By this Control Channel the server receive the instruction from the user to pause, forward rewind or stop video.

Yes. The broadcast live is not a problem for the streaming code or the vision by the user. Like video live is broadcasted while is making it and is happening in real time, the only difference is that there is not a file like this, and the user can not take the content control.

The electronic support needed to broadcast video live is minimum. You only need a record support (from a simple Webcam to professional TV equipment) and a computer for sending the video to the server and manage it.

It is very simple, it depends about two concepts. The first one the numbers of users who connect to our Internet TV Platform and the second one the quality that we want offer him.
