Question and Answer for Cyw Links and Content Tender

Question 2
Section 4.4
Could we have the technical details of the system that S4C provides for viewing programmes e.g. what kind of system, bandwidth etc?
Answer 2
S4C will allow up to 4 viewing sessions via the web at the same time (i.e. viewing on 4 different computers within the company). The effectiveness of the system will depend on how effective the company's own connection is to the web. S4C's viewing system offers two different options for viewing. The option that offers more functionality such as fast forwarding and rewinding will need more bandwidth. The simpler option does not offer this functionality and can be compared to viewing a programme on Clic on S4C's website. If a company's connection can allow 4 simultaneous viewing sessions on 4 computers this will give a company some idea of whether the connection provides the minimum required. You are also reminded that a web connection can also vary depending on the time of day etc and it will be the company's responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient resources to view programmes over the web.
