dc: a live Webcast control system

Live Internet streaming media programs, called webcasts, can adopt techniques developed by television to obtain higher quality. We have developed a general webcast production model composed of three stages (i.e., sources, broadcast, and transmission) and a tool, called the Director's Console (dc), to control live webcasts. The tool is one component of a distributed service architecture, which adapts to varying physical infrastructure and broadcast configurations.
