On-Demand Video Service On-Demand Video of Meetings and Special Programs"City in 15" Newsmagazine (MGTV 96)Live Video of MGTV Message BoardFrequently Asked QuestionsThe City's on-demand video service is a digital version of audio and video that is compressed and sent (streamed) over the Internet in real time for viewing on PCs connected to the Internet. Viewers do not have to wait until a large file is downloaded to a PC before viewing the video; instead, the media is sent in a continuous stream and is played as it arrives.A major benefit of this service is that videos can be archived and accessed simultaneously by more than one computer at any time of the day or night. The contents of the video are indexed, which allows the viewer to skip directly to a desired point in the video without having to fast forward or rewind as required when viewing a videotape on a VCR.
Another feature is a keyword search capability that allows for searching all archived meetings for a particular subject. The results provide links to specific agenda items in all meetings containing the keyword.The City's on-demand video program provides for online video/audio access of televised meetings of the City Council and the following boards and commissions:
Each meeting is streamed “live” and archived
for future viewing. Live streams can only be viewed at the
time a meeting is held. Links to various meetings can be found under the
heading "Upcoming Events" on the
On-Demand Video page. The link
will change to "In Progress" when a meeting is being streamed live.
Otherwise, archived videos can be viewed at anytime. In addition, the MGTV
message board is streamed live 24/7, except when a meeting
is being streamed. And the award-winning MGTV 96 program on City services,
programs, and events - "City in 15" - is available via the
City's
video service.
