Blues From Beale Street to the World Via the Internet
Live blues from Memphis clubs during the "Bluestock" Festival.
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama, USA--Sept. 29, 1999-- One of the Internet's most anticipated pieces of
technology is ready to bring the blues legends of the Mississippi delta.
LiveOnTheNet's exclusive remotely-operated webcasting units, called Showbots,
allow a director to control camera and audio functions from any web browser in
the world. Cameras will be positioned from the company's Huntsville, Alabama
control room as viewers watch top blues acts from Bluestock 1999.
Bluestock includes an authentic delta-style blues jam covering three of Beale
Street's most famous blues clubs, Elvis Presley's; BB King's; and the Hard Rock
Cafe.
On both Friday and Saturday nights, Bluestock will present blues artists from
around the world as well as nationally known headliners performing throughout
the Beale Street Historic District. During the day both days, LiveOnTheNet.com
will present panels, workshops, and clinics designed to appeal to the seasoned
industry executive and musician as well as the diehard blues fan.
``Showbots allow virtually anyone in the world to experience virtually anything
in the world over the Internet. This isn't a webcam, but a robotic camera and
encoding suite, packaged together to be permanently deployed in a venue.'' says
LiveOnTheNet.com Creative Director Jim Felder. ``Showbots bring back CD-quality
sound and some of the best video you'll see on the Internet. We can control the
camera positions, zoom, focus and audio from hundreds or thousands of miles
away. How else are you going to offer 25 performances in two days, free to the
viewer?''
