U-Broadcast

U-Broadcast is an application destined for a wide range of uses that involve your webcam.

With it, you can view, record it as well as broadcast the webcam's feed. It offers you three modes in which it can be operated. Using the ‘Offline’ mode, the video feed doesn’t pass through the main memory and because of this, it doesn't use a lot of system resources.

The second and third modes allow for streaming with or without video filtering. With filtering you benefit from handle frame grabbing, live streaming and can create custom captions at the cost of bandwidth, which is not the case when opting for the no-filter mode.

As far as Interface goes, U-Broadcast displays a simple and comprehensive layout. You get a big viewing area for the video feed and all the functions and features that the application offers are grouped into simple drop-down menus.

Depending on the characteristics of your webcam, the application allows you to capture both audio and video, as well as save a single frame as an image. The video recording can be stored anywhere on your computer and you can even set a cap limit for it in order to avoid filling up your hard drive. Moreover, if you already have limited space on your computer but need to start a recording, you can set the application to upload the video to a FTP server.

When it comes to settings and configuration, U-Broadcast doesn’t disappoint. It allows you to choose the device you want to use, select from one of many WM profiles and set the stream format in terms of colorspace, resolution and frame rate. Also, it provides access to specific settings on your camera, such as zoom, focus, brightness adjustments and compression format.

With the above to consider and much more to discover, U-Broadcast is truly a small tool in stature that packs a large collection of features.
