Streaming on Demand Video Costs
How to estimate usage and costs:
To estimate GB bandwidth transferred, multiply the quantity of clients times the 330 kbps video stream rate, times the hours per event, times 3600 seconds per hour, times the number of events per month, divided by 8,000 kb/GB.
For example, if the client is estimating that they will have 20 streaming events per month; and that each event will be 8 hours long, and that they will have 2,000 average simultaneous clients, then the total transfer is:
- Total GB = 20 events x 8 hours/event * 3600 seconds
/hour x 330 kbps/stream x 2,000 users /8,000 kb/GB
- Total = 47,520 GB per month
- 47,520 Gb * $.20/Gb = $9,504.00 monthly charge
The bit rate is determined by you, when you encode the video stream at the source; and by the clients computer based on the capacity of their computer and Internet connection.
Transfer Charges are $.20 per 1Gb of data transfer inbound or outbound from the Servers.
Live streaming starts at $1,000.00 per month.
