[Avid-L2] Real-Time Remote Collaboration

I have spent a great deal of time researching reasonably-priced options that will allow the output of my Avid to be monitored, in real time, by collaborators located in remote locations. More specifically, my goal is to take the SDI output from my MojoDX and feed it directly to an encoding & streaming solution (although I am prepared to convert that signal to analog if necessary using an existing Black Magic SDI to Analog Converter) -- and have it viewed by one or more parties for real time collaboration. For the record, significant bandwidth is available for this application.

In my "research travels", I have found solutions that range from an inexpensive Slingbox -- to a medium-priced Windows Media or Flash encoder (running on a powerful computer) and routed to a CDN -- all the way up to very expensive hardware appliances made by companies such as Digital Rapids and Streambox (to name but a few).

In an effort to "buy" some independent verification from an expert in the field, I also tracked down an individual who (I thought) was a very competent live-streaming video consultant -- and I formulated a very organized and comprehensive list of my requirements -- but he bailed at the last minute stating that my application was beyond his expertise. Go figure.

Anyway, rather than bore you with details -- I was just wondering if anyone on the list had good experiences with solutions of this type.

Thanks in advance.
