IPTV – The Future in Television!
Why is IPTV better than regular TV?
TV is great. It’s been around for years and we’re used to how it works. There is no denying that this is true. But IPTV is in many ways far superior than “normal” TV. In the following article we’ve highlighted a few of the advantages that IPTV can offer you, as the broadcaster, and your viewers.
IPTV offers the phenomenal image quality
Recently a lot of video quality comparisons have been made on different devices or services – specifically the quality from satellite, cable and DVB-T against IPTV. The results have been as we anticipated: The winner was declared to be IPTV! For example our TikiLIVE broadcaster called the HD Wave can deliver an amazing HD streaming experience to the audience in true 1080i or 1080p at up to 60 frames per second which is Blu-Ray quality!
You can instantly LIVE stream your video sources or upload the videos to be available as Video On Demand. A tutorial about how to get started with The HD Wave and to publish your content on the web can be found HERE.
Time Shifting
This feature has taken off recently with DVRs and TiVo, but in reality this is a core feature of IPTV and it was IPTV that made this possible! “Time Shifting” allows you to pause a program or stream and start it again. Recording and storing for later viewing is also possible. In television PVRs (Personal Video Recorder) and DVRs (Digital Video Recorder) or computers equipped with a TV capture card are used to time shift. All these make this function the most popular IPTV benefit of all.
Video On Demand
IPTV providers offer shows and movies to their audience so you don’t have to be the program director of a TV station to gain access to that content. IPTV providers also offer access to their own online video store. Some of them allow you to choose from thousands of titles to satisfy all of your customers’ tastes.
TikiLIVE IPTV solution is the place where users stream, record and transcode their content for later edit, using the TikiLIVE revolutionary broadcaster. Transcoding can be done in many formats so you can make your content available for Windows, Linux or Mac operating systems.
The Silverlight Uploader, recently updated by the TikiLIVE team allows you to easily publish videos into your account as Video On Demand. More information about the Silverlight Uploader can be found HERE.
Interactive Services
IPTV provides for a so-called “back channel”, which is essential for interactive applications. There are already some applications TikiLIVE works with to offer the end users what they want most, interactivity. For example you can use a set top box to browse TikiLIVE content. Just connect it to your TV via HDMI, component, composite, or S-video and then plug it to your sound system and you are ready to experience TV in stunning HD video and crystal-clear audio. The device will automatically scan and display the available channels.

The set-top box itself is necessary for the TV signals to be transmitted over the DSL line via internet then converted back into a usable signal for the TV similarly as with satellite TV.

What is IPTV?
What is IPTV?
IPTV has been a buzz word for a while now, but the breadth of its features are often limited to online-TV. This newsletter will hopefully answer the question, what is IPTV? First off, IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television. Right away you must be thinking, “but it’s called internet television – isn’t that just TV online?” While IPTV is television on the internet, its abilities go far beyond. IPTV is destined to change the way we distribute content and how our audiences will view it. As opposed to traditional television mediums (Antennas, Satellites, or Cable) which broadcast to everyone and the end user decides what to watch, IPTV provides a more pointed approach. An IPTV Network delivers content over a securely managed network that streams content directly to individual viewers or locations.
Who can watch IPTV?
IPTV Networks are built to deliver content to any number of devices and unlimited users. For a traditional TV experience you can stream to Set Top Boxes. A Set Top Box connects to the internet for the content and connects to a TV via an HDMI, composite, component or S-video cable. This is like a cable or satellite box, only it connects to the internet instead of coaxial cable. Since the network is already branded to you, we can brand the Set Top Box as well. With a quantity discount each of your subscribers can get a branded Set Top Box for $99! Like conventional TV you can stream content Live or make it available as Videos On Demand, but that’s where the similarities end. The leash of conventional broadcasting has been removed! Feature-rich programming is delivered to anybody at any time. Users have the ability to interact with each other around shared interests forming communities that span the globe. Access is available to all through web browsers or mobile devices such as Androids, Blackberries, or iPhones. Social Media ports link your network to Facebook, Youtube and Twitter placing your content in prime contention for viral popularity.
How do you make money
The unicast, or “per-user-cast” method of delivery gives you unparalleled access to your viewers demographics. Unlike traditional television broadcasts which rely on surveys and estimations for viewership demographics IPTV allows you to track exactly who is tuning in and from where they are watching because of IP address tracking. When a user signs up for your IPTV service, they provide their gender, age, location and any other information you want which lets you build targeted programming and advertising based on real-time data. The network is extremely secure and allows you to filter detailed statistics regarding the consumer’s preferences. You can easily add e-commerce references, advertising, and other services on items in which the audience expresses an interest.
Some concrete examples of ways to monetize your Network:
•Subscription Based Broadcasting – The Admin sets broadcasting packages that the users sign up for and pay on a re-occurring payment plan.
•Integrated Advertising – Network Administrators can assign specific advertising campaigns within their network and track impressions and click-throughs.
•Pay-Per-View Ticket Sales – Broadcasters can set ticket prices on their content and sell them to their audience. The site admin collects a percentage of the transaction to account for feeds and bandwidth.
TikiLIVE Custom Branded IPTV Networks
A TikiLIVE IPTV Network can be completely white labeled and re-designed to keep the network operating under your brand. With TikiLIVE you can:
• Broadcast in crystal clear High Definition
• Monetize your content through Pay Per View

Live Streaming
Live streaming software is the wave of the future. With advancements in technology, a variety of streaming products bring the future into desktop computers, laptops and netbooks anywhere. These tools expand content management opportunities into the live streaming market, making it one of the fastest growing Internet industries.
Eyepartner offers professional live streaming software ideal for streaming all forms of digital content. In real-time, users can video conference, video chat, share movies, share music and connect with users across the world. The media that traditional developers broadcast over the radio, TV, cable and antenna becomes a valuable resource, a rich commodity, to be shared across the world with the aid of software that connects to a streamlined network of servers.
You don’t have to be a professional in the IT or video and audio business to run these applications. Eyepartner’s broadcasting solution has been designed to be both powerful as well as simple enough for anyone to manage. Eyepartner has developed a product called “The HD Wave” that runs on inexpensive off-the-shelf PC’s. It delivers crystal clear high-definition and hours of endless footage can be streamed and shared to an endless customer base on a 24-hour network.
Past web models emphasized content sharing as a one-way model. A producer shares the content; people consume and pass it along. The new model encourages people to actively participate in the content. Producers distribute content to consumers who now can participate in the process by uploading and storing their own content. For example utilizing off-the-shelf hardware, users create and upload their media to their own TikiLIVE network composed of as many channels as they desire. Working through an intuitive and elegant channel manager, TikiLIVE users can personalize their network to an astonishing degree. The HD Wave is the broadcaster allowing you to stream a live show up to 60 fps and using a wide range of video sources. The HD Wave does require a modern PC running a Windows Vista or Window7 Operating System. For information on computer requirements, please call or email me via the information below.
Using this revolutionary broadcaster you can record videos then transcode into multiple formats, making them accessible to Windows, Mac and Linux users across a variety of video playing platforms. The content then can be stored and archived to generate a continuous revenue stream in the same way that TV producers have long made money with off-network syndication.

Traditionally speaking, live streaming software has been about sharing content freely, and relying on advertisers to cover the costs. New software takes advantage of revenue streaming opportunities. The cost of bandwidth for high definition content changed the game, and revenue became a must. With these products, producers can make money from the content they manage in a variety of fresh ways. One of the core values behind the revenue generating approach is branding. Users create channels and then brand those channels around the content and customer base.
TikiLIVE offers both pre-roll video ads and pop-up image ads. Users can also monitor their audience by location and viewing habits for marketing or other purposes. Individuals and nonprofits can accept donations through TikiLIVE and choose to have them administered either by TikiLIVE or a trusted third-party merchant. All told, TikiLIVE represents an outstanding means to transform online broadcasting into a revenue source. See the following tutorial to understand how to monetize your content with TikiLIVE.
Using en vogue advertising approaches, the live streaming software offered by Eyepartner opens a multitude of revenue streaming opportunities to clients. The products include tools to use viral marketing, promote events and products and produce specific content for niche audiences. These models generate revenue and increase customer base while building a recognizable brand.
All of these services come with a sturdy backbone of administrator solutions. As executive producers, administrators can control every function of the operation like the CEO of a startup company. The menus and options are easy-to-understand and tailor to each producer’s specific needs. With a robust statistics management system, producers will be able to tailor their content to current users and untapped markets at the same time.
