Recommended Computer Requirements

• Watching a live stream can be fairly CPU intensive, especially the HD content. It is best to have a dual core system that is less than two years old that has a discrete (non-integrated) graphics card. Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 CPUs or the AMD equivalent are preferred. Netbooks or low power systems should be avoided.
• Please use Google Chrome browser (free download) on all computers for best performance.

Internet Connection

A wired internet connection with a sustained download speed of at least 3.5 Mbps (3500 kbps) is required for the HD live feed or 1.0 Mbps (1000 kbps) for the lower resolution SD feed. You can test your connection at: www.speedtest.net

What if my connection speed isn’t as fast as what you recommend?
If your connection speed is less than the suggested minimum, you have two options:

1. Connect at the lowest speed we broadcast (800 Kbps), and know that the quality of the stream will be slightly less than ideal for large screen projection.
2. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and request a faster connection. In some cases, your current provider may offer higher rates of speed for the same amount you are already paying.

Tips/best practices for viewing the live stream:

Use a wired connection if at all possible. (do not use a wireless network.)

Remind others that multiple connections to the video stream at the same location may diminish optimal conditions for bandwidth consumption. (also contractually not allowed)

Deactivate any screensavers and/or hibernation modes while streaming on computer.

Check the resolution of your video projector to ensure that it matches your computer output. At full screen on your computer, turn on your projector and let it auto-detect the resolution. This should provide the best resolution for your environment.

Don’t run other programs on your computer simultaneous to the active broadcast times. The webcast will need all of the computer’s processing power available.

Check with your Internet Service Provider if you suspect your download speed is not consistent. Cable modem Broadband and DSL users may see fluctuation in the available bandwidth during a live streaming event, which could cause buffering in the stream. System testing if Computer and Internet connection requirements are met: Approximately one week before the event, a 2 hour live test will be scheduled to allow each simulcast location to ensure the live stream is connecting and opportunity to fine-tune screen projection, etc.
