Streaming Video/Audio Solution
Streaming video is a sequence of “moving images” that are sent in compressed form over the Internet
and displayed by a viewer as they arrive. With streaming, a web user does not have to wait to download
a large file before seeing the video or hearing the sound. Instead, the media is sent in a continuous stream
and is played as it arrives.
