Domecasting
Digistar 6 includes the Domecasting feature that enables Digistar 6 theaters to broadcast live dome presentations to other D6 theaters in the community. Upcoming Domecasts show up in the Digistar user interface, so that other theaters can tune-in to live presentations and experience them simultaneously. Digistar can display a video of the presenter on the dome along with their live audio. All theaters have access to a chat window so audience members can ask questions during the Domecast.
