You don't really need any equipment to broadcast Live. Our encoder will stream any audio you have going through the soundcard on the computer. Makradio is a larger setup and has built a studio to handle his broadcast. If you wanted you could start with just our encoder or even purchase a small mixing board for added audio management. To broadcast you just need a PC/Mac 500 mhz or better with a soundcard, and a high speed internet connection.
You could have remote broadcasters connect to stream Live from different locations, but they would need to have your username/password information. They could download the encoder and broadcast whenever you would like. Keep in mind that they would theoretically be able to view your billing info so you would need to trust these users. Also, there is not a way to seamlessly 'hand-off' the broadcast. Meaning if you have broadcaster A streaming live and it was time for broadcaster B's show there would be downtime as A disconnected and B connected.
The only software you really need is our software which comes free with the broadcast account. Depending on how advanced you would like to get there is other high end software and hardware that could help you. A mixing board and second PC are really a help.
To get started we would need the Rate Card and Broadcaster Agreement filled out and faxed in along with the setup fee and first month's payment.
