How
Live Broadcasting Evolved throughout the History?
Broadcasting refers to the distribution of any video
or audio content to various audience who are not located in a single place. The
means of transmission of these contents is usually via electronic transmission.
The old form of broadcasting was that of the radio broadcasting which was quite
popular in the early 20th century. In 1930s, television broadcasting also
became popular. Furthermore, in the 1960s, satellite broadcasting likewise became
popular, and during the onset of the World Wide Web, live broadcasting or web
broadcasting has been greatly enhanced and became popular in the 1990s.
Broadcasting were previously done from a television
studio. In the broadcasting studio, there are equipment that make possible the
broadcasting process. However, not all broadcasting are done in the studios.
Often, newscasters and productions are done outside of the television studios,
away from the necessary equipment that make possible the broadcasting of
contents. Outside studio broadcasting is made possible by bringing in the
production trucks anywhere there is a need for outside broadcasting. The broadcast
truck usually contains all the necessary equipment to enable a broadcaster to
make broadcasting outside of the studio.
The old production trucks were usually run by many
crews. This is to make sure that the remote broadcast of anything would be
running smoothly. The usual video
broadcast equipment of a production truck included video monitor, vision mixer,
frame synchronizer, video tape recorder, intercom, video router, microphones,
and many more. There were also various designated crews that included:
- · Camera operator
- · Technical director
- · Video technician
- · Video tape operator
- · Audio mix engineer
- · Graphics operator
- · Audio Assistant
- · Stage manager,
- · Utilities
The advent of different software that allow easy
remote broadcasting has clearly enhanced and facilitated the process of
broadcasting nowadays. Moreover, with the development of remote transmission
software, the process of broadcasting has been greatly improved.
Live streaming and web broadcasting can never be
possible without the great improvements in the digital networks and the
advancements in computer technology. Streaming via the web allows broadcasters
to stream video contents directly to a multitude of computers around the world.
With the onset of live streaming software and
applications, anyone who has the software can stream anywhere there is an internet
connection. Sans the production trucks and the numerous crews that make the
running of the production smooth, anyone can stream live video footages to
different devices around the world.

globe. Churches likewise have utilized live streaming technology to expand
their religious reach. Lastly, streaming videos also facilitates live
broadcasting for newscasters and broadcasters, making their jobs less
