How to stream from multiple locations?

[Vincent Brewster]

I'm producing a in world production of RENT and I was originally going to stream the cast album but I'm just curious as to whether or not it's possible to stream the people in the cast live over several streaming locations onto one stream?
I've heard there's a way for two people to do this but I'm not sure about maybe 15 people streaming together.

If you can help please contact me in-world. Thanks.

I don't know the technicalities but I understand from my partner that more than one person can stream on the same URL using SAM and Skype.  How many can do this at a time and whether or not each participant needs SAM installed on their PC,I don't know,but a bit of research will probably answer your questions. I do know that Skype will handle up to 25 people on one conference call.   However, this may be prohibitively expensive as SAM is 299US per user.

I don't think you would be able to stream from several locations live. You could however use SL voice or Skpe conference call or something similar and pre record it. Then stream in into SL using one stream. Then have the actors do the movements on stage along to the sound track being streamed into SL. I like your idea though. Let us know when you get it together, I'd love to attend a performance.

You can find Ejamming software. Which allows several musicians from different locations to record and play live over the internet with precision synchronization. recording etc.

There are some other that can do this. search for synchronized music streaming/recording software like NJAM http://www.cockos.com/ninjam/

There was a blues musician in SL that used to Jam with another resident from the UK live over a stream

 

Some open source ones out there also http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/llcon/index.php?title=Main_Page
