WEBCAST INSTRUCTIONS (Effective March 1, 2007)

IMPORTANT: Please don’t wait until the day of the program to test your computer.  If you are able to watch the webcast on the test site below, you should be able to watch our broadcast via the web.  Please retain these instructions in case of unforeseen problems.

Technical support: If you are experiencing technical difficulty with this test site or with the instructions below, please contact Dave Poplawski at the New York Network Broadcast Studio at poplawda@nyn.suny.edu or (518) 443-5333.

Test site:

  • Go to:  http://www.audiovideoweb.com/demos.html
  • On this page, to the upper right, you will see a box outlined in blue entitled, “Windows Media Samples.”
  • Select any sample such as “Allstate” or “Sears.”  If you are able to view the sample, you should be able to watch our broadcast via the web.

To watch the webcast:

  • Your browser must be Internet Explorer 5.0 (or later) or Netscape 4.7 (or later).
  • You must have the latest version of Windows Media Player installed on your computer or network.
  • If you do not have Windows Media Player, you will need to download it.  Go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/alldownloads.aspx
  • It is recommended that you have a high speed internet connection to view this webcast.  Use of a dial up modem may cause video/audio stalling while viewing.
  • This webcast is available in a multi-rate with streams at 282 Kbs, 109 Kbs and 43 Kbs.  Your computer should select the optimal bit rate for your computer’s internet connection and operating system speed. 
  • However, if you think you need to adjust the bit rate you are viewing at, do the following:
    • On your Window Media Player, go to the “Tools” dropdown menu.
    • Select “Options” and then look for the “Performance” tab.
    • Select the “Choose Connection Speed” option and then select the appropriate bit rate from the dropdown menu.

Troubleshooting:

  • If you cannot view the webcast, your computer may not meet the minimum system requirements to run your Windows Media Player version. Please click on the following link to check the system requirements for your Windows Media Player version:  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/player/sysreq.aspx
  • If you meet the minimum system requirements, and still cannot view the webcast, there may be problems with your network. Please contact your system administrator and work through the following questions:
    • Do you have a security device such as a firewall or proxy? Either of these may prevent you from viewing streaming video or audio content. Only your local system administrator can make changes to these devices.
    • Are you using a personal firewall or DSL/Broadband router? If so, you may have problems viewing streaming content. If you experience connection problems and are using either of these, you should disable them or remove them for the duration of the webcast.
    • For more information on Windows Media Player and network/firewall issues, please refer to Windows Media Player Firewall Support page at:
      http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/serve/firewall.aspx
  • If you are still unable to solve the problem, there may be problems with the settings or operations on your Windows Media Player version. Please click on the following link to open a support page window for Windows Media Player:
