The scheme under which clients start playing out the multimedia immediately or shortly after they have received the first portion without waiting for the transmission to be completed.

The digitization of content delivered via internet. Often also referenced as streaming TV, online TV, or internet TV. Examples of this include Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, etc.

Technique of transfer in a continuous flow to allow the display of the media while downloading.

Is a technology for transmitting and receiving audio and video on the internet alleging that the sound or visual document plays as it downloads to your computer.

Technique used to send data streams. Instead of waiting to receive the whole data stream, streaming clients consume the input stream at the same time they receive it.

A mechanism by which media content is rendered at the same time that it is being transmitted to the client.

A method of transmitting or receiving data (especially video and audio material) over a computer network as a steady, continuous flow, allowing playback to start while the rest of the data is still being received.

A method of transmitting or receiving data (especially video and audio material) over a computer network as a steady, continuous flow, allowing playback to start while the rest of the data is still being received.

Broadcasting live or prerecorded footage via the Internet. Twitch.tv is a popular platform for streaming eSports content.

The activity of listening to or watching sound or video directly from the internet.

Technique of transfer in a continuous flow to allow the display of the media while downloading.

A method of transmitting or receiving data (especially video and audio material) over a computer network as a steady, continuous flow, allowing playback to start while the rest of the data is still being received.

A technique for transferring data, such that it can be processed as a steady and continuous stream. Streaming technologies are becoming increasingly important with the growth of the Internet because most users do not have fast enough access to download large multimedia files quickly. With streaming, the client browser (or plug-in) can start displaying the data before the entire file has been transmitted. For streaming to work, the client side receiving the data must be able to collect it and send it as a steady stream to the application that is processing the data and converting it to sound or pictures. This means that if the streaming client receives the data more quickly than required, it needs to save the excess data in a buffer. If the data doesn’t come quickly enough, the data’s presentation will not be smooth.

Continuous sequential transmission of audio or video over the Internet without the need for downloading.

segregating students by ability groups, locally-developed, applied, and academic classes.

A form of online film distribution based on a global computational distributed grid media environment to be viewed on any digital gadget with screen such as cell phones, tablets, or computers. A streaming film can be also projected on theaters in real-time.

Streaming media is a multimedia delivery system in which media is consumed while it is being delivered. Widespread deployment of streaming media raises scalability and quality-of-service issues.

Term used to describe the transmission and reproduction of multimedia data. Transmitted data are viewed upon reception of the data packets the media content is encapsulated in. The term contradicts oldest multimedia applications of the download-andplay form.

Data generated in real-time continuously.

A technology that allows the transmission of data through packets, which can be continuously sent in small packets (offering live transmission) or can send all the content recorded (which is called streaming on demand and has You Tube as the most famous example).

Sending multimedia data to a client device at a rate the enables it to be played without having to store it.
