Broadcasting Software to Stream Live HD Sport Events

 

Live stream events are the latest form of entertainment in our ever changing age of communication technologies. They bring us information and spectacle and give new meaning to concerts and sports events. No industry is more suited to live streaming than the sports industry.

The original excitement of live radio and then television broadcasts of sports events took an exponential leap with the arrival of live streaming. The sheer number of sports events available for viewing with live streaming is dizzying. Webcasts are also a popular part of sports video streaming, as well as video on demand (VOD) where live streamed content is stored and deployed at a later time. There is also the added bonus that streamed video content is available for viewing, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, anywhere in the world.

Even a cursory glance at the Internet will show you that the dearth of information on live streaming for events is quite significant. Although it is true that uploading and deploying video has become a part of everyday life and everyone does it, producing live stream broadcasts was the province of the expert up until a very short time ago.

One needed a comprehensive working knowledge of advanced internet protocols, codecs, server applications and streaming protocols to produce a broadcast. Organizing, managing and executing live streamed sports or any event, required working with technologies that deliver the flawless product we, as modern viewers, have come to expect. However, not everyone has this kind of technical expertise, which is where hosting companies like Eyepartner step in.

Eyepartner

 

No hosting company surpasses Eyepartner. The last 20 years represent the entire introduction, refinement and integration of the Internet into daily life. And for 17 of those years we have helped pioneer the business of Internet technology. Adapting and evolving with creative demands is a part of our perspective. Eyepartner is dedicated to processing the most current technological information and delivering cutting edge solutions that fulfill your broadcasting expectations. TikiLIVE HD broadcasting service is our mainstay software. We’ve designed it to provide every tool necessary for producing, managing and monetizing live HD streaming content. And, ease of use, quality image delivery, accessibility, flexibility, and speed say it all.

TikiLIVE Software Leads

 

TikiLIVE has changed the game in broadcasting. Broadcasting and viewing streaming HD (and SD) content directly from your desktop or laptop and through your own customized branded channel(s) can now be done by anyone, regardless of their tech savvy. We have edited and eliminated expensive hardware requirements and the confusing complications of directions and set-ups. We have delivered ease of use without compromising quality. Hardware requirements couldn’t be simpler.

All that is necessary is a computer with Windows 7 or 8 and a camera. You can download our recommended HDWave broadcaster, or even use a third party broadcaster if you prefer. The HDWave is a perfect fit and suited companion to TikiLIVE and designed to work in tandem with it. The HD Wave software enables the user to deliver streaming video in real time, record and automatically save it to a TikiLIVE account that can later be streamed whenever and wherever.

Here’s the Basics

We provide you with an application fit with a user-friendly dashboard that can be accessed from your browser. We supply all the live broadcasting tools for live streaming, video on demand, uploading capabilities, tools for channel arrangements, and for publishing channel lineups. We at EyePartner host and stream all of your media content from our server farms, but you design and craft it all to suit you. We have a back office team of experts that are ready to assist you 24/7. TikiLIVE can assist you in:
• Creating and establishing your own brand including “white labeling”.
• Producing and promoting events.
• Monetizing your channels with pay per view and pay per broadcast.
• Tracking your viewers viewing times and viewing habits.
• Utilizing statistics and analytics to better direct your broadcasts.
• Uploading, storing, and managing digital video inventory.
• Sharing with distributors and other websites.
• Establishing as many personalized channels as you wish to have.
We also offer features that can extend broadcasting service capabilities. Since TikiLIVE is compatible with WordPress, which has become a comprehensive Content Management System (CMS), bloggers can now incorporate the latest live streaming technology in their websites. Now you can build a blog, a website, or both and incorporate HTML5, which allows viewers to access your broadcasts from their smart devices.

 

Broadcasting Software to Stream Live HD Sport Events

 

We have also developed TikiLIVE’s OTT Wi-Fi HLS Set Top Box with record breaking high speed and smooth streaming capability. Our set top box is the perfect marriage of the Internet and television – and what better way to watch live streaming and video on demand than in a large flat screen TV? Everyone knows that sports and television are like cheese and crackers – meant to be.

Broadcasting with TikiLIVE and a set-top box directly to living rooms allows you to reach a global audience when they are most likely to be interested in your broadcast. We also connect with social media sites (Facebook, Twitter). Live interaction during live streaming with our chat features has broadened the viewing experience as well. Interaction is the name of the game, and no audience gets more involved than sports fans.

What Else is New?

 

We have recently revealed our upgrade TikiLIVE v3.3 with HTML5 capability. HMLT5 of course enables the deployment of almost anything online – including apps, music and movies without requiring additional software or plugins and without royalties. It is compatible with Smart Technologies like iPhone and iPad so it means live stream your sports event on the go.

Our HTML5 Live Streaming Module is also a pay per view module. The module permits the broadcaster to offer tickets for purchase to live streamed sports events for viewing on mobile devices and Smart technologies. And, our HMLT5 VOD offers the same for video on demand.

We have also introduced our QOS, or quality of service module that permits administrators to access user statistics in real-time for trouble-shooting as it happens. Administrators can then see and repair issues immediately, so there’s virtually no down time.

Eyepartner loves sports. We have opened the door to the future of broadcasting, ahead of the curve and in front of the competition. Let us assist you in bringing your sports events to life and to the world. Contact us today for more information using our convenient online form or by calling (305) 289-4557.

The Internet is an orchestrated communication technology designed to reflect our creative imagination and make anything imagined possible and practical. Whatever you can imagine, Internet design technology is all about the business of making it happen. We hear news as it happens from around the world, we can ask of it any question on any topic, and we can see and talk to friends who live thousands of miles away. The Internet has also brought about an endless stream of complimentary and adjacent technologies and industries that have broadened every aspect of life.

One of the latest and most transforming developments in the evolution of the Internet is HD live video streaming. This covers a rather large territory relative to what it can do and who uses and enjoys it. It covers everything from education and commerce to entertainment. Businesses are also integrating live streaming video into their websites bringing fresh excitement and interest to products and information. Clearly, video streaming expresses in movement what photos and copy alone cannot. Needless to say, the music industry has fallen in love with HD live streaming for concerts. It is now an enormous industry and has brought new creativity and energy to concert performances. Entire web sites and broadcasting channels are devoted to concert streaming and it has globalized music events.

HD Live Streaming Video for Concerts


For those in the music industry and music fans, Internet based online services for music purchasing, listening and viewing has changed the game. What was the world like without iTunes and YouTube? Concerts and live shows have entered the arena, translating music events to HD live streaming video and video on demand. Music festivals are enjoying a very popular moment.

Streaming concerts live is a new entertainment that brings the live concert to you. It is also a terrific alternative to paying exorbitant ticket prices while uncomfortably squeezed in with thousands of other concertgoers trying to view a tiny stage. Small clubs and café concerts as well as large global musical events can all find new meaning with live streaming. It is the newest category of entertainment in the music industry and a new means of generating revenue.

Eyepartner


Just a short while ago it took a lot of time, training and a good amount of cash to stream a live concert or event. And, it took a village of techies to do it. Popular demand has led to an increase in technological innovations designed to deliver a new kind of host provider that eliminates complications and cuts production costs.

Broadcasters are looking for hosting companies that allow them to design, manage, produce, and monetize broadcasting platforms of their own. Broadcasters have come to expect hosting experts to attend to the details of the technology and its evolving innovations while the broadcaster takes care of the details of their personal broadcast.

We at Eyepartner have been about the business of hosting since 1996 and have the solution you’re looking for. We provide the most accessible and new Global Information Technology Solutions available, providing a full suite of live streaming video applications and services. We have removed the cost and complications of live streaming and pared down setup time. We have a back office team of innovative collaborators available 24/7 for advice and direction.

Best Platforms to Broadcast Live Concerts Online

You have the option to create a network with snap on modules that connect to other social media formats such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. And, you can function with as many channels as you choose.

TikiLIVE Communication


Interactivity is the name of the game now – as opposed to simply deploying material. TikiLIVE has adapted to this and enables direct interactivity with your audience, and in real time. The developed embed codes enable the user to deploy with or without an interactive chat feed. TikiLIVE enables monetization of content through advertising and features such as pay per view or pay per broadcast as well, so revenue building is a part of our system.

We support configuration with set top boxes like Roku that enable Internet interaction with your television. This is particularly effective for those interested in broadcasting concerts to television viewers. Nothing beats watching a concert with friends on a big screen TV with popcorn and a few cold ones.

HTML5 is on the GO


The introduction of our HTML5 Live Streaming Module is a real game changer. This module enables events to be watched on mobile devices like Smartphones and Netbook – so concerts on the go. With HTML5 almost all media can be deployed without any additional plugins or software. There’s no need for royalty payments as it is non-proprietary. This module has the added advantage of acting as a pay per view unit where tickets can be purchased to paid events that can then be watched on mobile devices and Smart technologies.

Nothing Easier


TikiLIVE gives you everything you need to get up, set up and go. It’s a three step basic set up. All you have to do is:

• Download the recommended HDWave Broadcaster (or Third party if you prefer it) to your Browser (at least a Windows 7 or 8).
• Plug in your video source.
• Select your channel and broadcast.

Live Concert Streaming


At its most fundamental, live music video streaming can be done with just a webcam and when thought of like this, it is beyond cost effective. If you are doing the video for your own live streaming broadcast than you decide how your concert will be captured. As relates to equipment available for broadcasting AV over the Internet, you can find decent digital video cameras for under $500 that can do the job decently. Or, you may have a sophisticated set-up that builds as you do. It’s all up to you.

Contact Eyepartner


Live streaming concerts in HD to your own branded channel is just another good reason to contact us here at Eyepartner, and we are full of good ideas. We’re evolving with you and with your dreams.

Real-Time Live Video Mixing Software for Events with TikiLive!

Real-Time Live Video Mixing Software for EventsOur modern world is in the midst of an online revolution that has been made possible by the introduction of the Internet to the greater public. Seeking to express the magnitude of what has happened in the decades since its introduction is an impossible undertaking that promptly reveals the limits of language.

Fast forwarding past the very beginnings to the world of websites and blogs, podcasting and video-sharing, to the upending of totalitarian regimes, Twitter and Facebook, political resistance, and Anonymous hackings – what we all know is that these technologies are now a part of the human experience.

The communication revolution is not seeded solely in reaching so many so quickly, but in an entirely new means of reaching and sharing which is at the heart of the innovation and the industries that support those innovations. One of the most effective tools for information sharing is HD streaming and live streaming.

It is one thing to use a website and email, and quite another to see live action events as they happen wherever, whenever. “The medium is the message” – an idea introduced in the 60s was prescient beyond measure by the time live streaming arrived. Rich media streaming has affected every aspect of modern life and streaming video provides multimedia broadcasts which make major use of video, audio, and even animation.

Streaming media technologies have become the quotidian with the arrival of savvy hosting and software companies that recognized the need to make streaming easier while maintaining quality production standards.

HTML5 White Label Set Top Box Powered Over Ethernet

diagram-poe-html5-stb

Power over ethernet or poe is the process of passing electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices eliminating the need of a standard power outlet.

What is the benefit?

In some cases such as large ships and oil rigs that would like for their cabins to have mainland broadcasts, but were built with very few power outlets and equipped with an Ethernet drop in each cabin. POE is a much cheaper alternative than adding more outlets.

TikiLIVE and HTML5 set top box

stb2TikiLIVE is Eyepartner ‘s fully white label flagship HD iPTV platform that is packed with everything needed to broadcast stunning HD and SD video over the Internet. Our custom branded HTML5 set top box that is capable of POE works as a content receiver for viewing on HDTV ‘s it offers a TV Guide page for scheduled programing, a live page for listing all live channels and a VOD page for streaming paid or free movies.

The POE set up

The setup is very simple all that is needed is a poe router or switch to enables the passing of power and data along Ethernet cables.

How to Broadcast Live Content to ROKU Users

How To Broadcast Live Content to ROKU Users

When television brought visual media into our living rooms, the way in which we viewed entertainment was changed forever. Initial programming was a three channel black and white offering that gave way to color, cable and satellite. VCR’s and DVD’s added greater movie variety and the home entertainment center was born in earnest.

Not too far behind television, and with the same all-encompassing fervor, the computer arrived and quickly evolved from a kind of advanced word processor to a dial-up connection and finally to a lightning fast Internet highway where people can access everything from movies to social media from anywhere at any time.

It was only a matter of time before these two technologies combined benefits to create a new hybrid addition to the home entertainment theatre. The set top box was built on the idea of integrating the Internet with television, enabling the individual to view media through an Internet connection. Pioneered by Roku, this movement began with their presentation of the first receiver, which was developed to deploy movies instantly from Netflix directly to television using the internet. Now renown and continuously evolving, Roku players stream hundreds of channels to your TV with over 100,000 movies available, and once you purchase it, you own it.

Roku



As a definition, Roku design offers a digital video player with built-in wireless adapter that supports High Definition (HD up to 720 pixels (p)(HD), and Roku XD and XDS up to 1080p of HD) and connects to your Internet. The Roku box permits over 300 channels to be streamed instantly to your TV. It functions with a simple AV (or HDMI cable) connection to your television and plugs into a standard wall outlet.

Most channels are free, with select services like Netflix and Hulu requiring a nominal fee. One key advantage of Roku is that of ownership. Unlike cable and satellite, with Roku there is no monthly bill, just a single reasonable purchase. Ease of use is another design feature – it’s just a small box with a few plug-ins that delivers a huge variety of channels and movies. It certainly beats going to the video store, renting and setting up a DVD player.

Another current advancement brought about with the latest technical evolution encompassing personal broadcasting and live streaming, Roku has expanded to include those capabilities. Personal broadcasting can now be viewed on your television set in your own living room.

EyePartner and TikiLIVE Love Roku



The cross-pollination of media has brought about interactivity between technologies that are making all kinds of communication possible. In order to broadcast content to Roku, one must first become a broadcaster, and Eyepartner is the recommended way to go.

We are a hosting company built on innovation offering HD streaming media solutions designed for quality delivery and ease of use.

How TikiLIVE met Roku



It was Eyepartner’s innovation in 2011, TikiLIVE iPTV for Roku that enabled the integration of Roku with TikiLIVE. With the introduction of a middleware that eliminated previous technical problems and reduced costs, Eyepartner successfully streamlined delivery to the Roku set top box. TikiLIVE iPTV for Roku was created to link HD live streaming, video on demand and broadcaster channels to Roku. It also enables simultaneous broadcasting to your streaming sites, which exponentially increases audience. Currently there are over a million Roku box users, so that a streaming broadcaster can potentially reach and incredible number of people. The current TikiLIVE broadcaster is able to produce content, deliver scheduling, and organize pay per view directly to their audience’s televisions.

Set-up and Go

Simple Set-up



The TikiLIVE to Roku set-up is streamlined simple and easy to manage. All media is streamed from our server farms and Eyepartner does all the technical heavy lifting. We provide an application with a user-friendly dashboard accessible from any browser. All the essential broadcasting tools are built-in including uploading capabilities for video on demand and live streaming as well as capabilities to publish channel lineups.

A distinguishing feature of TikiLIVE is that it’s designed so you can customize your broadcasts with your specific stamp, to suit your specific needs. You can even combine VOD and live streaming programming. Live-streamed content is instantly deployed to a channel on the ROKU set top box for immediate viewing. That’s it. We at Eyepartner want to see you succeed so we offer easy to follow tutorials that guide you through the process step-by-step to ensure the quality of your experience.

To create a professional production grade looking broadcast you need one thing above all else and that is a video switcher. The main job of this is to take multiple video feeds and be able to switch from one feed to another to get the best shot possible or to simply change the angle to keep viewers interested.

A really good video switcher goes beyond this allowing the controller to overlay graphics for score boards or titles, live green screening for weather reporter like broadcasts, smooth transitions from one feed to the next, some audio mixing capabilities and the ability to show multiple feeds at the same time for group interviews.

Now the problem. Price a video switcher can run any where from $3000 all the way up to the tens of thousands making this out of the reach of many there is also the software rout but the price of most will still run you $2000 and on top of that the price for capture cards will still take you close to the $3000 price point.

At EyePartner we are constantly looking for ways to help our broadcasters find the most cost effective solutions that will help them create great looking content and Broadcasts, that said we are proud to introduce the most affordable solution we have found.
