webcasting

multimedia, World-Wide Web (From "World-Wide Web" and

"broadcast", sometimes just called "push") Multicasting on

the Internet. Webcasting implies real-time streaming

transmission of encoded video (or audio) under the control

of the server to multiple recipients who all receive the

same content at the same time. This is in contrast to normal

web browsing which is controlled from the browser by

individual users and may take arbitrarily long to deliver a

complete document.

Pointcast and Marimba were early pioneers.

International Webcasting Association.
