Video On-Demand with Advanced Video Delivery Capabilities
Flash Streaming technology utilizes Dynamic Delivery that tests the Internet connection speed for each individual viewer. NPM Computers then delivers the video quality and bit-rate that is most appropriate for that viewer -- allowing the video stream to play instantly without interruption.
Without Dynamic Delivery, viewers would get the same data-rate stream, regardless of the speed of their Internet connection. Thus, slower viewers would get unwatchable, interrupted video (as they struggle to keep up with the video stream) or faster connections would be forced to watch low-quality video images (which are required to accommodate the lower speed viewers). This "one-size-fits-none" approach is the huge drawback for old-style streaming solutions that has kept many tube-style sites from enjoying the many other benefits of "true steamng".
Dynamic Delivery changes all that:
- High speed viewers get stunning, high-fidelity video images.
- Low speed viewers get lower quality images -- but no interruptions.
- All viewers get videos that start quickly and play smoothly.
- Dynamic Delivery is Streaming 2.0 -- and every NPM Computers package includes it, for no extra charge. Including live
video packages too.

What is Live Event Streaming?
Live Event Streaming allows a user to broadcast a live event in real time on the Internet. This capability is one of the most unique and exciting applications of streaming media technology.
Not only is the very concept of doing a live webcast an exciting and often perfect solution, it is also relatively easy to do: webcasting live can be accomplished by simply having a webcam or digital camera, a laptop or home computer, appropriate cabling, some free software, and a modest broadband connection.
Put all the elements together, and you are online live! At the other extreme, professional productions such as major music or sporting events can be broadcast to tens of thousands of viewers via their web browsers.
Who should use Live Event Streaming?
Live Event Streaming is especially effective for a wide variety of events including musical and sporting events, company financial reports or product announcements, lectures or training courses, and more. Live Event Streaming from NPM Computers can even send images and sounds of a wedding or other family event to friends and relatives around the world, right to the comfort of their own homes. Anywhere you want to be, Streaming Media Hosting can help you broadcast successfully.
By utilizing our Live Event Streaming servers, you can reach a much wider audience across a much larger geographic area. The sights and sounds of your Live Event are then streamed from our Streaming Media servers to your viewers anywhere in the world using a standard internet connection.

Why is Encoding important?
Encoding is the process of converting or compressing a media file into a digital file capable of delivery over the Internet or other types of networks. Encoding for streaming makes it possible for a user to begin playing the media file as it streams rather than after it has downloaded, utilizing streaming as opposed to a progressive download. The quality of media content experienced on the Internet is directly related to the quality of the encoding services that transformed the media into playable content. Encoding is the essential process that helps you avoid the maxim "Garbage In-Garbage Out"! Instead, you will achieve "Quality In-Quality Out" and Streaming Media Hosting will help you achieve that goal.
Media files that stream from your web site have to be encoded in the correct format as a first step. While you can do this on your own using free tools, considerations such as choosing the right software, frame rate and source file are not easy tasks. If you want the highest quality results or don't have the time or inclination to do your own encoding, why not give Streaming Media Hosting the job and benefit from our expertise, experience and customized solutions?
