the advantage of izzycast

One key advantage is the tight integration into Isadora, another is the professional server architecture supporting the 1080p video and HiFi Audio streams. You can of course link together an number of separate tools, sharing video and audio via Syphon or NDI, but you need to manage a lot more on your system. Connection/Setup time will be greater, and you don't have the integrated data channel that can be used to control hardware in remote locations.

eg: you could trigger lighting cues in your remote performers space from your Isadora project, Or allow your remote participants to send votes on different topics to you driving Realtime info graphics.

The options are endless.

As far as cost, it is not necessary to have a live IzzyCast session running to program most things. Anything you do with the data channel can be worked out over a broadcaster/listener pair. Of course its not for everyone. We struggled working out a fair price for IzzyCast credits. So much has gone into setting up this new tool and so much more has to go into it to maintain it as we move forward. It is our hope that it becomes a powerful tool in the toolbox that is Isadora, and we look forward to seeing what the community makes of it.
