I have in my hand an NTSC video cable and an XLR with audio. How do I hook that to the mbone? :-)
Simple.
Go get yourself an encoder - VBrick, Envivio, Tandberg, etc, etc - there's plenty out there, take your pick. That'll take video + audio as an input, and output the encoded video (typically MPEG-2 or H.264 in an MPEG-2 transport stream) as multicast.
Hook that into your favourite ISP that supports global multicast (several of the tier-1's do), and you're all done.
Really. It's that trivial? Ok. Cool. Anyone know if Road Runner's one of those? And how do viewers watch it? Cheers, -- jra
