In all of this, bandwidth is the key. You <em>must</em> have an ADSL2+ or cable connection, or Telstra's Next G for a mobile link (and even then, it needs to be tuned for HSUPA rather than HSDPA). Anything else will fail. Ustream's 320 x 240 pixel default requires a recommended minimum 400kb/s uplink speed. @Sean the Blogonaut: People do occasionally report problems with Ustream — extreme lag or buffering failures — but I haven’t investigated further because those problems can be caused by a bottleneck anywhere between the user and Ustream’s servers.

They can video conference up to 20 people at a time apparently and they intend to offer the ability to record conferences as well. I did look at Mogulus before I came across ustream. I had issues originally with watching shows (lag etc) but that might have been a once off. If you are going to use remote producers outside of major metropolitan areas speeds may be a problem?

Mogulus seems perfect for integrating inputs from all over into the one player, including live shows and pre-recorded and pre-programmed sequences. I intend speaking with Nick Hodge this coming week to see how we build upon what we're already doing. @deanlk: My thoughts exactly.

Looks pretty cool. With the live co-production features, you could team up with Mr Hodge and do really swish show handovers & share the load of other parts of the production to remote producers.
