Description:
Use the "liveCaster" application to multicast MP3 audio streams to a potentially unlimited audience, even with only a low-bandwidth Internet connection. (Future versions of liveCaster will also support other kinds of data - possibly including video.)

If your data source is not directly connected to the Multicast Internet, a built-in tunneling mechanism brings your data to the world.

Your customers receive and play your data using a multicast-capable MP3 audio player (or, for textual data, a MAFP-capable browser such as multikitTM (now obsolete), or a web browser plugin). Custom receivers and/or senders can also be provided, upon request.

liveCaster uses standard protocols and open data formats, and works over any IP multicast network. (No proprietary encodings; no unnecessary middlemen!)
