Video On Demand

Are you are looking for a way to break into the entertainment industry, reach your customers in a dynamic way, or just looking to have some fun? You may want to consider broadcasting. The truth of the matter is that broadcasting used to be something that belonged only to the media elite. If you wanted to air your own television shows, you had to know the right people or be confined to cable access. The internet and IPTV has empowered thousands of people each day to express themselves through the use of video. This opens up the possibility to make any kind of videos you would like. If you want to develop a following, you are going to have to put quality content in a place that has easy accessibility. TikiLIVE is your answer. Since TikiLIVE lets you instantly link with Facebook and Twitter, your content can go viral in a heartbeat!

With TikiLIVE streaming video on demand, posting a video on your website is easy and straightforward. Your video can be viewed LIVE and you can store it as a Video On Demand that can be revisited again and again. With live video, you might get the feeling of excitement of a live performance, but if you are not tuned in to catch it the first time around, you miss the video. On demand allows you to watch the video whenever you have a chance. Also, with the on demand option, you are able to watch the video as many times as you would like. This is a great option for people who are proud of the work they do and who want people to enjoy their videos again and again. You can charge for the Video too.  Set your price for the viewer and collect your cash!

If you are ready to begin streaming video on demand with your TikiLIVE channel or network, there are only two things you need. You are going to need a camcorder or a webcam and a TikiLIVE Broadcaster account. Sign up for an account here http://www.tikilive.com/upgrade .

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. For more information about how to easily encode your video files please access this link:www.monsterencoder.com

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.

What are the (3) different broadcasters of TikiLIVE and how do they differ from one another?

Web Based – no download required, access TikiLIVE through our website

High Quality – Broadcast in High Quality Standard Definition – download the broadcaster, plug in your device, create a channel, and publish content.

The HD Wave – Broadcast your content in High Definition (up to 1080p) without needing any proprietary hardware. It was designed to easily broadcast all video or static content originating on the user’s hard drive, connected capture device, camera, video, audio mixers as well as other sources.

Why is it important to select the right Bit rates when broadcasting?  In your opinion what is the optimum bit rate to broadcast to a general audience?

If your bitrate is too high, your encoder may not be able to produce a constant stream resulting in buffering during playback within the player. In addition, if the network connection from the player to the streaming servers is poor, the users will experience buffering during playback. On the other hand, a low bitrate stream can result in excessive pixelation of images during playback. For this reason we recommend broadcasting between 350Kbytes to 900Kbytes, depending on your viewers needs.
