How to Distribute a Live Video Stream Over the Internet From Edirol

As webcams have become more commonplace, streaming video has grown into a popular form of communication and information distribution. Roland Systems' Edirol audio/video mixing stations can be used in conjunction with USTREAM, Skype, Livestream or any other live video service to provide a level of polish that standard webcam feeds do not provide. As a USB device, the Edirol VR-5 is easy to connect and compatible with any live streaming application.
