Hi need costs for labour, hardware and software

*1. HARDWARE Encoding PC + Soundcard + relevant software * We need a PC that fitted with windows media encoder and or any other encoding software. If the PC is installed with *nix OS , it should be configured and installed with the appropriate software. Please quote for both software, hardware and labour costs. The PC should have a good soundcard.

-PC I'd suggest is this : http://chekelea.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=168 . Nothing much will come near to the performance of this machine. Very few left at vendor. - Media encoder can be installed for free on from MS site, with a legal OS check online. Where will the server be, user protected access or open? mms? how many audio streams? Will you be doing store and foward or live streaming or both? - Pro Sound card need to be imported, pls mail specs. PCM, MP3 . - You may also need an ISDN BRI type of service circuit for Bcast quality or channelized E1. 64kbps mono, 128kbps stereo. - XML : I'd asume this are content headers. ( someone else may have to assist you ). Incase you already have a quote then its fine. If you need some help with streaming, encoding or live casting contact me offlist. I've been doing some stuff with these for a long while so may be able to assist. Time and commitment constraints will allow mail contact only. Hope you understand and HTHs'. Rgds.
