Tech Faqs

What are the user system requirements?

The Poststream Live™ server does not require a dedicated web connection for the client access computer, but the best performance is available when a bandwidth of at least 512 Kbps is available for the system to use. Higher-rate internet access smoothes the streaming video and downloading process, but access rates as low as 128 Kbps can be serviceable to accommodate remote on-site productions.

The following hardware specifications are required for the server computer, unless the

Poststream Live™ dedicated server farm is used:

1. At least 1 Mb/s available on the LAN without congestion (minimum requirement)

2. At least a 2.0 Ghz processor, 2 gigabytes of RAM and at least 500 Mb Hard Drive

free space.

3. QuickTime™ 7 or higher and Windows Media Player™.

How much does it cost?

Poststream Live™ is available for a monthly fee. This fee is tailored to each user’s storage and bandwidth needs. Please call us for an accurate price quote. The Minion Plugin is not restricted by number of seats. This means the administrator of the account can distribute the plugin to as many editors or outside vendors as they want to have access to the web server.

Who should use it and how does it work?

A typical Poststream Live™ user could be an advertising agency, production company or network that wishes to maintain a directorship role with respect to its media contractors, or that desires a quick turnaround on its programs and promotional spots.
