UStream upgrades broadcast applet; 30fps now possible
Two weeks and counting — That’s the amount of time I’ve spent streaming my life 24/7 (well, not entirely, but mostly). It has been a period of experimentation, curiosity and education. I’ve been broadcasting my life via UStream, BlogTV and Mogulus (the newest lineup in my broadcast toolbox).
One thing I felt UStream lacked in was overall video quality and streaming stability. Well, recently, UStream upgraded their applet to include granular controls such as stream quality, frame rate, and device selection all in one easy location. Now, you can control not only the quality of your video, but your audio as well. The CD-quality (44Khz) rating for audio sounds AMAZING. It’s the best sound quality I’ve ever heard (well, I guess it does help that I use a great studio mic).
So, while UStream hasn’t mentioned this yet, I’m sure they will soon — and, of course, the legions of UStream fans are certainly aware of this very important upgrade, too. This type of fine control will separate UStream by “leaps and bounds” from its competition. Hopefully, they will follow suit as well.
