Speaking about an on-line
broadcast we mean not only television, we speak about Internet too. In
comparison to television the Internet allows us not only to see and hear on-line
program broadcast, it allows to realize all our ideas and thoughts in practice.
With only one button press we can enjoy a real time view of the wild Africans’
dances or the choppy Baltic Sea via Internet.

What are the
pluses and minuses of translation through Internet? A user staying at home can
virtually take part in all the parties of stylish night clubs or to visit a
modern show at the theatre. Moreover he saves his time and money. This is an
amazing possibility for people who can‘t travel all over the world. All you need
is a qualitative connection to the Internet.
The high
qualitative on-line broadcast nowadays is used by businessmen, politics,
sciencists, organizations and their branches. It helps to organize and
participate in international video conferences, forums, distance education
cources, presentations, lectures, etc. For example, one of the best American
universities – the University of California – translates distance educational
cources not only via television, but also via Internet. It allows people from
all the world to study at the University and get Bachelor, Master or
professional studies degree. Such practise is becoming popular in Lithuanian
high schools too.
Modern
contemporary equipment helps to organize video conferences through Internet
quickly and expeditiously; allows to expand the auditorium with the
representatives of different cities and countries. Video conferences via
Internet were held between Ðeðkinë health center and Santariðkës Clinic in
Lithuania. Performed medical researches were discussed during the conference.
There is an Internet camera mounted at the Ðeðkinës health center reception
desk. It translates the image to the Internet. Such cams will be helpful in the
homes of seriously ill persons or seniors, the cameras can analyze the work of
sick-nurse or doctor.
New possibilities
“The on-line
broadcast via Internet opens new opportunities to broadcast image and sound“, -
says Nerijus Jurðys – the head of the projects of the TV studio and video
solutions of JSC “Penki kontinentai“. You can broadcast the view from one
computer to another, or from a TV channel or proffessional video camera to
another TV channel. Powerful computers with installed image card and special
software are used for this purpose. The place of translation is not important,
all depends on the quality of the Internet connection (the advisable network is
a magistral optical network), because the qualitative broadcast needs high data
tranfer speed.
“Skynet“ network
users can enjoy the bird-eye view of Vilnius on-line from the roof of the
business center “Hanner“ (116 metres altitude) at any time of day. The view from
the video camera mounted at the trade center “Europa“ broadcasts to
the LNK evening news forecast report. The headquarters of LNK in Ðeðkinë and the
business center “Europa“ are connected by optical wires, on the ends of which
are special optical heads, which allows to tranfer image signals via the optical
wire. A professional video camera was tested instead of a panoramic camera. “It
means we can organize high quality on-line broadcasts from the conference room,
located in Vilnius skyscraper into TV air“,-
says N. Jurðys.
“The quality
of the image can be as high, as it can be broadcasted to television or recorded
images can be used to write DVD, however, the company transfers data up to the
speed 1Mb/s – for Communication Center users and 64 or 128 Kb/s – for those, who
don‘t connect to the optical network“, - says the head of the projects of the TV
studio and video solutions. The on-line broadcast via Internet of JSC “Penki
kontinentai“ can be of different quality (high or low) and allows to write the
translation.
There were 3
video broadcasts from the trade center “Europa“ arrangements made by the
organization lately:
· an opening ceremony of the business
center “Europa“
(high
quality), (low
quality)
· a President of the students voting
( (the
first part’s record, the second
part’s record, the third
part’s record)
· the races to the 31st floor
of the business center “Europa“ (high
quality , low
quality).
The users of “Skynet” network could enjoy not only
the video, but also the sound broadcast watching the voting of the President of
the students. You can find
all braodcasts at the “Skynet film studio“ web-site www.filmstudio.lt. Moreover,
the experiment film studio is holding negotiations with Lithuanian TV Studio on
the subject to broadcast TV programms and to continue them on the
Internet.
