Ensign Pre-empted For Most of the Day Sunday June 27, 1999 Though Ensign has been unavailable before due to server problems we have changed servers and continue to be rock solid. However, we are in the midst of one of the most important events in the history of the Interent. In order to carry out a project today the links and stories on this page and the whole of Ensign will be offline from 0800 until 1800 hours today. Here is what our server is up to. http://dbdrag.advance.mb.ca/Live_show_frame.html Live over the Internet broadcast of video and audio is now in our hands. This is a breakthrough in what might be called "backyard broadcasting" following the experiments that took place throughout last evening and concluded around 1:00AM we were able to send a signal from a remote location to the server and out to viewers on the internet with exceptional sound quality and acceptable video quality even at 28.8 speed modems. This means that with in a week we can actually produce live broadcasts from anywhere with a telephone connection to the Internet. There are some limitations such as only forty viewers being able to participate at a time but the concept and capability are as of today, a reality. We will keep you posted on this exciting development as Ensign might even have a video segiment for a few minutes each day.
