TikiLIVE vs. Ustream

TikiLIVE vs. Ustream

The Internet is filled with content providers that claim to be able to stream your content with ease. The reality is that few providers offer a robust enough platform to handle the needs of an individual or organization that experiences viral success online. Many people begin by using YouTube to handle the cataloging and distribution of their online content, but as videos become more popular, a more robust content delivery infrastructure is needed.

In this article we will compare the features of Ustream and TikiLIVE. Both are very popular providers and offer users an easy way to quickly upload content to the Internet for live video streaming.

Ustream

History: Ustream is a live video streaming service that was launched in 2007. It is popular among users due to the ability to upload content for free. Much like YouTube, Ustream caters to users who are not looking to pay to use a video sharing service.

Disadvantages: While Ustream offers a free platform for users to create videos, this creates several disadvantages, which are inherent with most free video content providers.

Bandwidth Limitations – With any free service, there are almost always limitations and Ustream is no different. Their free video sharing service offers significant bandwidth throttling that can significantly deteriorate the viewing experience for your users. This is especially true as your videos begin to become increasingly popular. Due to increased Internet speeds, users are becoming less patient when it comes to buffering and delayed video content.

Advertisements – One of the ways that free content providers can continue to exist is through the use of advertisements that are embedded in your videos. While this may be okay for users that are simply sharing videos with friends and family, this may not be sufficient for those looking to convey a professional image online. While this may not seem like a big deal for someone who is just starting to post videos online, as your content becomes more popular this could cause some users to look elsewhere for similar content that is not riddled with advertisements.

Verdict: While Ustream may be fine if you are just beginning to create content online, it is likely not for everyone. If you already have a strong online following, investing in a paid video content provider may be a safer option. This way you will not have to worry about advertisements or bandwidth limitations which are common with all of the major free content providers including Ustream and YouTube.

TikiLIVE

History: TikiLIVE is a video streaming provider that has been around since 2007 as well. While TikiLIVE operates as a paid live video streaming provider, the service has seen consistent growth over the years due to a commitment to a robust infrastructure as well as a strong customer experience. As a leader in the live streaming arena for a number of years, TikiLIVE offers a suite of features not seen from the majority of other content providers.

Advantages: Due to TikiLIVE’s strong user base, the company is able to provide a platform that offers several key advantages, compared to free video sharing sites such as Ustream and YouTube.

Robust Content Delivery Network – The success of your online videos largely has to do with the infrastructure that is being used to serve your content to viewers. This infrastructure can vary greatly depending on your content provider. Because TikiLIVE’s infrastructure is not riddled with users trying to upload scores of content for free, they are able to provide a network that is scalable and lightning fast. This allows you to focus on creating high-quality videos, not on whether your users will be able to view them without any buffering or other streaming issues.

Full HTML5 Compatibility – Another huge benefit of TikiLIVE is that it was built with the mobile user in mind. With all content being HTML5 compatible, your users can view your content from any device whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, computer or set-top box.

Social Media Friendly – Social sharing of videos is one of the top ways that your videos can become successful online. TikiLIVE makes it extremely easy to share your videos with followers on Twitter, Facebook and other popular social media networks.

Multiple Monetization Methods – With TikiLIVE you can charge viewers to access your live content or even charge for pay-per-view access to your archived content. Opening up monetization options for your content can be a great way to create additional revenue for yourself or your organization.

Live Chat – Ready to drum up excitement about your online content? With TikiLIVE, you can offer a live chat feature to interact with your followers prior to the live streaming of your content. This can allow your fans to connect with you outside of your video content.

WordPress Integration – As many are aware, WordPress is the most popular content management system (CMS) on the planet. Because of this, TikiLIVE has added features that make it incredibly easy to integrate your videos directly into your web site. No longer do you need to learn complicated HTML or CSS; simply rely on TikiLIVE to handle all of the technical coding required to get your video content onto your website.

Analytics – With TikiLIVE, you can access instant metrics on how well your videos are performing. This allows you to cater your content to your audience’s wants and needs, which is essentially the backbone of all marketing.

Verdict: If you are looking for a feature rich content provider that will deliver no matter how popular your content becomes, TikiLIVE should be at the top of your list. By investing in top-notch infrastructure, TikiLIVE has created a network that is hard to beat in the audio and video streaming arena.

Best Live Streaming Video Platform

Best Live Streaming Video Platform

The Internet is now interwoven into our daily affairs and every new innovation carries with it a constellation of other innovations. Each new development relies on the preceding one, creating a network of communication that rivals our own nervous system. One of the most recent and useful developments has been the emergence of video streaming and its supporting technologies.

Live Video Streaming and Broadcasting



Video streaming and broadcasting have come a long way, fast. Just a short time ago, broadcasting or streaming content to the world meant using a conventional studio or network. It was expensive, time consuming, complicated, and unprotected. All the individual production and deployment elements had to be employed and directed separately. The hosting companies that did exist could offer only limited plans, and were as yet unable to accommodate the needs of novice broadcasters. The technology and even the concept of what comprised a good platform had not yet been developed for widespread use.

The need for a kind of continuity and service commensurate with growing technologies demanded a new breed of hosting service that would be prepared to evolve with technological innovations and the changing trends. The new language and capabilities of video streaming had broadcasters searching for a hosting service that enabled users to create, produce, manage, and monetize their own broadcasting platforms.

The continued growth of variables in software design and production options demonstrates the present need for the right hosting options. Savvy users recognize that the best hosting options come from a company committed to evolving with the technologies and innovations, where hosting functions are all produced under one roof.

Eyepartner Gets It Right


Eyepartner leads the new era of Internet technology and hosting options. We are a hosting development agency specializing in rich media solutions including high definition HD (and standard definition SD) live streaming, as well as Video on Demand (VOD). To meet the demands of communication innovations in the social networking platform, we have developed our flagship product, TikiLIVE, which combines the best of both live video and VOD and is served through a proprietary broadcaster, the HD Wave, as well as a Content Management System (CMS). This high-end video serving platform may also be integrated with pre-existing websites by utilizing the TikiLIVE Application Programming Interface (API) and our new TikiLIVE version 4.0 with HTML5 capabilities.

TikiLIVE is All You Need


With a refined streaming technology that combines the latest developments in server hardware and a user-friendly administrative interface, TikiLIVE provides the broadcaster with an all-in-one solution that removes complications in hosting and software. Everything is geared toward ease of use and the non-technical broadcaster, without compromising professional image quality. TikiLIVE focuses on keeping technological developments current and on trend, which allows broadcasters to concentrate on refining content and building audience and revenue.

TikiLIVE is designed as a single web server built to serve a broadcast plan offering many custom video solutions and options including encoding, live streaming, Video on Demand, and content ingestion. With a back office technical support team available 24/7 combined with a budget friendly hosting program and current options, TikiLIVE is a cut above the rest. The set-up is simple and to the point and you don’t have to be a tech wiz to initiate. All you need is a Windows 7 or 8 computer and a camera. Three steps and you’re good to go.

  • Download the recommended HDWave Broadcaster (or a third party broadcaster of your choice) to your computer.
  • Plug in your video source.
  • Select your channel and broadcast.

Streaming Software and Advantages


The need for expensive equipment or software is eliminated with the TikiLIVE platform, and it functions with existing or standard equipment. Eyepartner offers the recommended, yet optional, HD Wave application which installs on any laptop or desk top and is designed as the compliment to TikiLIVE. The HD Wave software allows the broadcaster to shoot live, quality, streaming video in real time and automatically record and save it to your TikiLIVE account. TikiLIVE is designed to help:

  • Create and establish your brand.
  • Produce and promote events.
  • Monetize your channels.
  • Track viewer habits.
  • Utilize click-through statistics and analytics.
  • Upload, store, and manage digital video inventory.
  • Share with distributors and other websites.
  • Establish an infinite number of personalized channels.

Bringing in an Audience


TikiLIVE has introduced features that enable you to reach your audience and increase your visibility and range. This promotes the growth of your ideas and projects. Interactive features enable you to broadcast and connect with your audience through live chat and whiteboard, even while streaming live events. And now you can connect with social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

The HTML5 Video on Demand Module is designed to support the most recent multimedia technological capabilities enabling broadcasting to Smart technologies and mobile devices – broadcasts on the go. We have also extended service capabilities with WordPress for bloggers and websites, and set top boxes (like Roku) that bring broadcasts directly to your audience’s living room televisions via the Internet. Streaming a live event in HD enhances your site, especially as a featured event, and the addition of pay per view supports your content and your business in every way.

Revenue



The latest concepts in monetizing media content are also supported by TikiLIVE including options for pay-per-view and pay-per-broadcast, complete analytics, and advertising solutions. TikiLIVE also offers both pop-up image ads and pre-roll video ads that are also designed to generate revenue. You are free to custom arrange the advertising to suit your content. TikiLIVE is designed to support the transformation of broadcasting into a reliable source of revenue.

Create a Roku Live Streaming Private Channel

Create a Roku Live Streaming Private ChannelIf you are familiar with the movement to allow Internet based video content to be streamed to normal televisions without the use of a computer, then you truly understand the power of this medium. There have been a number of companies that have been quick to capitalize on this opportunity and offer solutions that connect to your TV and wireless network allowing the streaming of video content directly to your TV.

Video streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu have grown popular largely due to these digital devices, which allow those who do not have significant technical knowledge to quickly set them up with relative ease. One of the largest players in this market is Roku, which was first started in 2002 in California. There are several benefits to using a device such as the Roku to stream video content to your television.

 

Advantages of Using Roku To Stream Video Content

 

  • Ease of Use – Roku makes it simple to stream video content to televisions. With a user friendly interface, users are able to quickly connect to their wireless network and download content in only minutes.
  • No Computer Required – With the Roku device, a computer is not required to stream video content. This removes one of the major frustrations with online video content, which is great news for video content providers looking to distribute their content to the masses.
  • Inexpensive – With the Roku device starting at only $49.99, this device is a popular option to those looking for ways to stream video content to their televisions without a computer.
  • Cable Alternative – Using a Roku device, users are able to finally have a legitimate alternative to cable television. With these devices, you can watch the majority of popular programming for much cheaper than your standard cable bill.
  • Private Channels – One of the most interesting features that Roku devices have to offer is the ability to stream private channels from a variety of different video content providers. Many popular video content providers, like Eyepartner, allow you to create private channels that can be viewed by anyone with a Roku device. If you are producing video content, this can increase your viewing audience immensely. With over a million people using Roku set top boxes, producing video content for this platform could be what sets you apart from your competitors.

 

Tips When Creating a Live Streaming Private Channel on Roku With TikiLIVE

 

TikiLIVE is our video content delivery network that makes it extremely easy to create a private channel on Roku. Keep the following things in mind when you are looking to publish your content to the large number of users with Roku set top boxes.

Admin Configuration – TikiLIVE offers a user friendly admin page which allows you to easily setup authentication for Roku users as well as manage categories and channel settings. With just a few clicks you can allow users to authenticate to your private channel through their TikiLIVE account or through Roku’s own authentication system.

Supported Roku Video Formats – Depending on your TikiLIVE service, there are multiple options for the type of video formats that are required to work with Roku set top boxes.

If your TikiLIVE account only has uploading services then you will need to ensure that all of your videos are in H.264 format and that the audio format is LC-AAC. Finally, the container should be MP4.

If you do have encoding services through a monthly subscription then your options are much larger. TikiLIVE utilizes the Monster Encoder application to encode video into a suitable MP4 format. The Monster Encoder software allows you to take almost any type of video content and convert it into a useable format for Roku devices.

While it is entirely optional, we recommend that you purchase a monthly subscription to allow the use of the Monster Encoder application. Some users who did not purchase a monthly subscription have had trouble using MP4 videos with Roku devices that were not encoded with Monster Encoder.

 

Publishing Your Content to Roku

 

Before you can begin publishing content from TikiLIVE to Roku, you need to have a Roku Developer account. Publishing private channels through a developer account allows your video content to instantly be available to your users. If you attempt to publish content without a developer account it can take much longer for your content to be approved. Follow these steps to publish content to Roku from TikiLIVE once you have logged in with your Roku developer account.

  1. Once logged into the Roku site, you can click on the “Developer Site” page to view the channel administration interface.
  2. Click on the “Manage My Channels” link, which will open up a GUI that will allow you to add a private Roku channel.
  3. Click “Add Private Channel”
  4. Fill out the necessary text boxes that indicate which Roku stores will show your content by Country as well as other information related to your private channel.
  5. Next you will be able to upload images that will be featured when users search for your content through their Roku device. You are able to upload up to 4 images for these purposes.
  6. Now that the channel has been created, you can click on “Manage Channels” to view your new channel details.
  7. Click “Edit Channel” which will open up a package submission page for you to upload your content.
  8. Here you will complete the necessary text boxes and click “Publish” to post your content instantly to Roku.

If you are looking for ways to push your video content out to the masses, there are few better options than allowing your TikiLIVE content to be accessible through Roku set top boxes. Not very often are you literally able to increase your audience by at least a million users in a very short time.

For more information on TikiLIVE from Eyepartner, give our offices a call today at (305) 289-4557 or contact us via our online form. By combining the power of TikiLIVE with the ease of setup that comes with Roku, you can have the perfect video distribution network for your high quality content.

The Most Secure CDN Video Streaming Service

The Most Secure CDN Video Streaming ServiceA CDN or Content Delivery Network is a way for companies to deliver content in the most efficient way possible.  CDNs use high performance servers located around the country, and even the world, to deliver content to end users quickly and efficiently.  There are certain limitations of companies that utilize one server to deliver content, which can create a bottleneck for end users.  By utilizing multiple servers, companies are able to maintain lightning fast download speeds with a CDN.

CDNs also use location to determine which servers handle requests based on where end users are located.  This also improves the speed of requests due to the short distance between server and end user.  CDN platforms allow companies to offload traffic to data centers that are built to handle an almost unlimited amount of traffic.  Companies that focus on delivering video or other types of content would be much better served utilizing a CDN as opposed to purchasing expensive servers and leasing bandwidth from one of the various Internet Service Providers.

 

What is Secure CDN?

 

With most end users now accessing the internet at speeds faster than many could have ever imagined, it has become more important than ever to be able to deliver content as quickly as possible.  Without a CDN, web sites that are heavy in content may end up crawling as they become more popular.  There have been countless stories about web sites that were mentioned in a magazine or a popular TV show that were then brought down due to a quick jump in traffic surrounding these news reports.  Think about how much revenue and exposure these web site owners missed out on by not utilizing a CDN to manage these spikes in traffic.

As web sites gain in both traffic and popularity, they also can become targets of hackers and other underworld organizations looking to gain access to websites for a variety of different reasons.  Domestic and International hackers spend significant resources trying to take down some of the largest web sites in America and abroad.

By utilizing a Secure CDN, companies can rest easy due to the fact that a company is constantly monitoring their digital online offerings to ensure that they are doing everything possible to stay secure and fight potential online attacks. There are a variety of different features that encompass a successful secure CDN.

 

Features of Secure CDN

 

Many companies may claim to offer a secure CDN, but the reality is that few offer a comprehensive set of features which greatly reduce the ability for hackers to overtake websites.  Some features which are important when it comes to a secure CDN are listed below:

Secure HTTP – Secure HTTP, which is also sometimes referred to as HTTPS, is a way to encrypt traffic across the internet.  When you navigate to a website and see HTTPS:// in your browser you know that you are on a website that utilizes Secure HTTP.  For website owners that want to protect their video and other content, it is vitally important that all traffic is conducted with Secure HTTP.  Secure HTTP traffic can be more taxing on resources, which is even more of a reason for growing content companies to utilize a secure CDN service for their needs.

High Level of Support – If your site has come under attack from hackers it is vital to have support resources that are available at a moment’s notice.  Many companies only offer email support through a robotic ticketing system where it may take days to receive a response for your critical issue.  Finding a service such as TikiLIVE that offers support via phone, email and live chat allows you to focus on your core business model as opposed to mundane details about your online infrastructure.

Detailed Analytics – Secure CDN is not only useful after an attack, but it is also extremely beneficial to prevent cyber-attacks. With detailed analytics, you have the ability to notice trends which may point to a potential attack before it actually happens.  Hackers may attempt to initially gain access to see how easily they can access your servers before actually launching an attack.  If you can make it difficult for hackers to gain access as well as be notified when these breaches of security occur, you can significantly reduce the risk that your online content will be compromised.

DDoS Support – A DDoS or Denial of Service Attack is a hacking method used to make a server or set of servers unavailable to the outside world.  Large companies such as Yahoo and Amazon have fallen victim to DDoS attacks.  Effective and secure CDN services have mechanisms in place to prevent these types of attacks such as automated rules and procedures to recognize DDoS attacks and react immediately to mitigate disaster.

Robust Redundancy – One of the primary advantages of a CDN is redundancy.  Should a CDN server be compromised, companies are able to instantly migrate to another server with relatively no downtime.  This allows you to continue to serve your valuable customers even in the event of a cyber attack.  Secure CDN providers that do not offer redundancy should be looked at with great caution as this is likely the most important feature that a secure CDN can offer content providers.

 

TikiLIVE – Your Full Featured Secure CDN

 

When it comes to a secure CDN that offers a wide array of features for end users as well as administrators, TikiLIVE has it all and more.  With TikiLIVE from Eyepartner, your end users will experience a robust, secure CDN coupled with a full featured content platform which allows users to experience live and recorded content from any device.  Eyepartner has invested a great deal of resources into developing a mobile friendly platform which helps your content wow end users whether they are on a computer, tablet, iPhone, or iPad.

For more information about the secure CDN features of TikiLIVE, contact us with our online form or give us a call at 305.289.4557.  With TikiLIVE from Eyepartner you can deliver dynamic content to users while not having to worry about how the success of your website could mean significant downtime due to slow servers and connection speeds.  Contact us today so that we can grow with you!
