Webcast Overview
ESSRX offers a variety of webcasting options to meet the communication needs and budget requirements of our clients. With hard wired, high speed internet connectivity at 117 Ruth's Chris Steak House and Mitchell's Fish Market venues nationwide, our clients can leverage our easy-to-set-up and reliable webcasting network. ESSRX webcasts can also be viewed simultaneously on thousands of personal computers and IOS devices for those who cannot make it to a local venue.
While our satellite programs continue to provide the most professional quality--a high definition image with state-of-the-art graphical features--ESSRX webcasting services, with a minimum data flow rate of 1 MB/sec, creates a new set of more cost efficient options for our clients. The Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Mitchell’s Fish Market venues are the first restaurant chain to have dedicated, hard-wired, high-speed internet connectivity.
Already outfitted to host a High-Definition Satellite program, these premier and private dining rooms also include:
- Hard-wired and dedicated internet connectivity which offers stability unavailable to wireless networks;
- Standard VGA and audio outputs to permit laptop connectivity to the installed projector or flat panel via wall jacks;
- Polycom conference phone with dedicated analog phone line.

Live Q&A
The last 30-45 minutes of most broadcasts are usually set aside for Q&A where your presenters answer questions submitted by the attendees from around the country. Questions are collected throughout the broadcast via:
- an operator assisted toll-free number
- text message, and/or
- email
The questions are reviewed and fully vetted before they are sent to the panelists to be answered.
Following your broadcast, ESSRX will provide you a full list of all the questions asked. These questions often provide our client with valuable insight about their audience and also lead to engaging enduring materials. On average, ESSRX clients receive 5.5 questions per location.

Audience Response Systems (ARS)
With the simple use of their cell phones, attendees can respond to questions via text message (similar to American Idol voting). The results are compiled and displayed during the broadcast. Often, ESSRX clients will utilize ARS to determine the professional makeup of the audience and/or measure audience understanding of topics being presented.

Simultaneous Webcast
For your key constituents who are unable to attend the live event, ESSRX can transmit the program via the internet as a webcast so that it can be viewed, and participated in, on a personal computer. Cell technology will allow webcast attendees as well to participate in ARS and Q&A! ESSRX can expand the reach of a program by making it available online simultaneously.

Online Registration
Your invited attendees and/or sales representatives can register for a satellite or webcast program via an ESSRX designed and hosted online registration system. Attendees receive confirmation emails upon registering for a program and receive a reminder email 24-48 hours before the program date. A full complement of registration reports can be generated in real time 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

On-Camera Training for Presenters
Live satellite broadcasts can present challenges for even the most seasoned presenters. Knowing when to look at the camera instead of at a fellow panelist is an example of a subtle talent that separates a good presenter from a convincing one. ESSRX’s primary broadcast host, and former Fox News Channel anchor, Laurie Dhue is available to help prepare your presenters. She will offer guidelines for dynamic presentation delivery and share tips from her 17 years in the broadcasting industry.
