I am working with a semi-prot baseball team and we are in the process
of trying to stream our home baseball games on the web.
We have a broadcast booth at the field but because of county
regulations, we cannot have a landline telephone on the premises. We
have looked at the possiblity of using a cell phone for audio
transmission but wanted to ask first about this possible solution.
There is a telephone line in another booth about 450 feet away. I am
thinking of using a mixer and then porting the output into an
audio/video sender which would wirelessly transmit to a receiver in
the booth that has the phone.
Then we could feed that signal into the sound card of a laptop;
encode it and send the data via a dial up ISP to a web host where it
could be streamed. Or we could just send the audio down the phone
line to our web host where it would be encoded and then streamed.
The cost of sending data is much cheaper than the cost of sending
audio. But obviously, there is a balance somewhere between cost and
quality of sound. Also, there's the big question of whether sending
encoded audio data (our web host uses Window Media files) down a phone
line through a 56K dial up would even work.
I would welcome any opinions and thank you.
