摘      要：Although the industry is still in the early stages of webcasting, we can already foresee what the Internet will offer a few years down the line: clear, crisp audio and full-screen, high-quality, on-demand video. We have developed a technology that provides all these required features for Internet webcasting. This technology consists of: IP Simulcast, a new Internet broadcast protocol, which provides inexpensive, efficient, and reliable audio and video broadcasting; and new audio and video compression algorithms, which allow real-time audio and video transmission of data at low bit rates and with high quality. In this article, we describe a new Internet broadcast technology.
