We use a system called VBrick which allows for streaming a live
broadcast over your network using your Ethernet cable. It also converts
the video to a mpeg format so that you can upload it to your website for
your school community to use. It also allows for live streaming on your
website as well using your fiber connection. I hope this is useful.

My middle school head wants to set up a broadcasting area in the new
media center we are building. Can someone give me some ideas on how you
would do this?
Basic set up at my school:
Fiber to the building, Cat 6 in the building to a gigabit switch.
We have no cable (aka TV) as we are too far away to get cable, so never
had it installed.
What is the best way to broadcast video to classrooms?
Are there online options that can be used for broadcasting outside the
school too (like to parents)?
Should I be looking at putting fiber in the building itself or will
Ethernet handle it?
As for the room itself, it will be an integrated arts room with green
screen, video equipment, lights, and microphones.
Thanks,
Renee Ramig
