Communicating - iStreamPlanet Live Video Streaming with Michael S. Scherotter

Working to get the SxSW Ice Cube concert streamed live in Silverlight, I've gotten to know Mio and Randy at iStreamPlanet. Because of their expertise in streaming live events to the web, Microsoft contracts with them to do many live events like the Mix keynotes.

I sat down with them at Mix between sessions to understand what it takes to get video streamed live to the web to be played in Silverlight.
