Broadband or DSL internet connection? > Does anyone have any experience/expertise in using Flash Media Server hosting (like UVault > and Influxis) and a web cam? Might be able to help you but need to know more if you can share. Is this WebCam a stream, going live, and you are sharing the time, sorta like a anchor/newsroom (you are the technical director and on air personality) and field reporter (you friend) exchanging clever repartee? Then the show or clip is available to view 24/7 after the live event? What will you use to punch the show? Is it a physical switcher (vision mixer) or software? > If so, can you make any suggestions.

What is the guy using for a computer and do you know any of the specs? I lack server side knowledge. So take my recommendation with that in mind. What I think might work from what you have explained so far: <http://www.airlink101.com/products/aic250w.html>. > > Chuck >
