For a more traditional TV viewing experience we will configure your network to be able to stream your broadcasts to the popular line of Roku Set Top Boxes.

Capture just 3% of this existing market at $10 per month for your content and that’s at least $4,000,000 per year! For our press release please click here.

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 for viewing. This is like a cable or satellite box, only it connects to the internet through an Ethernet connection instead of to the cable network or satellite via a coaxial cable.

Eyepartner Introduces TED Broadcasting Network for TED Presenters

We have launched www.TEDBroadcasting.com! This network will serve as a unified site for previous and future speakers at TED conferences to continue spreading their message to the world. Hopeful presenters can hone their craft on this network as well.

We design our software to require nothing more than an off-the-shelf computer and video source or camera. The software is user-friendly and makes Live Streaming accessible to presenters without the need for expensive or proprietary broadcasting equipment. We hope to spread this message through continued seminars and broadcasts with these presenters so their ideas and visions are seen through to the end.

Inspirational and forward-thinking speakers are invited to present 18 minute presentations designed to spark the imagination of the audience and the world. Beginning in 2006 these presentations were made available online at www.TED.com and at www.YouTube.com and as of July 2010, have been viewed more than 290 million times.

“These speakers are an inspiration to their fields and to the world. Their message is much bigger than an 18 minute presentation,” says Tim Green, CEO of Eyepartner, “and we want to give these speakers the tools to continue reaching a global audience after the conference is over.”

Built on the TikiLIVE Broadcasting Platform, TED Broadcasting will serve as a gateway to previous TedTalks that can be sorted by year, presenter or category. Presenters who wish to participate can broadcast new presentations live or upload other content to be available as Video On Demand. Since the site is also a social network, non-presenters can chat with each other during live events, follow their favorite presenters so they stay up-to-date and watch all of the archived footage of previous conferences. And since the network easily links to Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, your content can reach people quickly and easily.

For more information about TED Broadcasting or to sign up to be a presenter, please contact:
