Even though this is an old article, I used to really like the Video streaming that Digitcom had on their old Web page. Here is the article. Just goes to show you what an innovator Jimmy Chin is. He saw a promising niche market called Global VoIP and is going after it. LIVE TELEVISION ON THE WEB March 1996 Digitcom Multimedia Corporation and KWHY-TV, Los Angeles, have launched Channel 22's daily business and financial news onto the Internet with a continuous live "feed," free to a global audience of Web browsers at www.digitcom.com/~kwhy. Digitcom (www.digitcom.com) is also working with the Harriscope station to bring viewers together with program guests and business analysts by video conferencing. Digitcom president, Jim Chin observes, "Interactive television can be much, much more than simply shopping using your remote. With technology Digitcom provides, online chat can mean talking back and actually interacting with other people, face-to-face, co-authoring documents and sharing graphic resources using your desktop computer." "We are extending our programming reach with this venture onto the Internet," said KWHY operations manager, David Bergen. "It will increase the potential return for our advertisers and the exposure will, hopefully, attract new advertisers that are interested in the interactive services we plan to roll out in association with Digitcom." KWHY's Webcast is available to desktop computers connected to the Internet using "Streamworks" software that can be downloaded from the Digitcom site or from Xing Technology's Web page at www.xingtech.com. "Streamworks" allows users to view and hear video programming in real-time without having to download large files to their computer before viewing. High fidelity audio can also be "streamed" to `Net users providing near CD quality sound through computers having audio cards and ISDN connections to the Internet. Lesser "AM" quality sound is heard over systems having 14.4 Kbps and 28.8 Kbps modems. Xing Technology is the developer of the compression hardware and decoding software. KWHY's business news and analysis programming is on the Web from 6 AM to 2:30 PM PST, Monday through Friday, making it the first regularly scheduled television programming on the Internet. Optimal viewing is achieved by those accessing the Internet with ISDN modems that operate at 112 Kbps second, but 28.8 Kbps and 14.4 Kbps modems can listen to and view the video at a "stop-action" two- to three-frames per second. "We'll be adding features to the Web site, like continuously scrolling stock-ticker information using Java, and special reports and analysis in video-on-demand files that do not require downloading before viewing," pointed out Roger Templeton, Digitcom Marketing VP. ~Mark~
