For unidirectional streaming you don't necessarily need SIP or WebRTC though. WebRTC is helpful because it can get the stream through NAT and firewalls though. It could also facilitate remote participation at events like Flock, e.g. for people watching the stream remotely to ask questions. This might require some more effort from the team managing the video, but the SIP solution will provide a foundation for them to do that when they are ready.
