New style for the site

First release: v1.0.

Moved to new site
www.batc.tv is the latest venture by the BATC into Television streaming. The site will bring streamed ATV to the internet and allow cross repeater working from its multi screen display. The site will also carry a library of ATV programmes and be a port for other ATV events that will be streamed from around the world.
Some of you may have already seen Camstream and other repeater streaming, how will this site differ? The software has been written To allow multi user display, so that more than one repeater can be viewed at the same time allowing CQ ATV to be called on one repeater and others monitored for a duplex QSO. In the past using single repeater monitoring this has been possible but only a single repeater could be monitored and delay was a major problem.
www.batc.tv is located in the Telehouse, Docklands data centre here in the UK and connected to a major internet pipe to minimise delays. The streamer will use flash media so the picture quality will be the very best that modern technology can provide at the present time.
This is an expensive venture and although no charge will be made to ATV repeater groups for streaming we are looking for other users and sponsors to help make this site a place to visit. Ventures from other users are not restricted to ATV or even ham radio. If you would like to start your own streaming service then please contact us - we have the necessary space available.
If you are a company and would like to help support this project, then for a small donation we can display and hyper link your logo from our front page.
If you would like to stream your repeater or have a live event coming up you would like to stream or if you have library ATV material suitable for this site, please contact info@batc.tv
