Wirecast introduces the unique concept of shots. You can package up your selected cameras, graphical overlays, movies and titles into a shot. Once you have built your list of shots, you can transition the broadcast between them with a single mouse click.
Multiple Layers
Controlling your broadcast in real-time is easy. With Wirecast's multiple layer support, it's simple to place a background music track or a company logo over your webcast, while changing between the cameras you want your viewers to see.
Broadcast Flexibility
When it comes time to broadcast, Wirecast offers easy setup for your streaming services with industry leaders Livestream, Limelight, Ustream and Justin.tv, allowing anyone with a computer and an internet connection to easily and affordably reach out to audiences anywhere in the world.
In addition, Wirecast offers three industry standard streaming options for your own setup: Flash (H.264), Quick Time or Windows Media streaming,
The omnipresent Flash H.264 (RTMP) is now natively supported by Wirecast on all platforms. Wirecast supports Flash Media Servers and Wowza Media Servers.
The powerful QuickTime Streaming (QTSS) architecture is supported by Wirecast on all platforms. Using QuickTime, you can unicast or multicast to your clients. When you want to scale your webcast up, you simply send your broadcast to a Darwin or QuickTime Streaming Server. Your viewers can then watch your webcast through QuickTime Player or embedded directly into a webpage.
Wirecast for Windows also supports streaming with Windows Media Server (MMS). Windows Media supports both a push and pull model, viewers can either connect directly to your machine using the "pull" method or when you need to scale up you can "push" your broadcast to a Windows Media Server. Viewers will connect either through Windows Media Player or directly inside a webpage. This option is not available for Wirecast for Macintosh.
