| Streaming Media: |
Streaming media technology enables the real time
or on demand distribution of audio, video and multimedia
on the internet. Streaming media is the simultaneous
transfer of digital media (video, voice and data)
so that it is received as a continuous real-time
stream. Streamed data is transmitted by a server
application and received and displayed in real-time
by client applications. These applications can start
displaying video or playing back audio as soon as
enough data has been received and stored in the
receiving station’s buffer. A streamed file
is simultaneously downloaded and viewed, but leaves
behind no physical file on the viewer's machine. |
