As the name suggests, live broadcasting is to synchronously broadcast the real-time dynamics of a place, so the live broadcasting on our Internet is the same. Webcasting is a new way of socializing on the Internet, which allows people to watch videos on different communication platforms through the network system at the same time, and the webcasting platform has also become a brand new social media. The core idea of network video live broadcast is to use the existing LAN, MAN or even World Wide Network conditions to realize real-time transmission of audio and video signals, and to achieve smooth viewing at the remote end.
