HOSTING, HOW MUCH DO I NEED?

I’m often asked about our discounted hosting plans for our white-label networks. The conversation usually follows a path similar, if not identical to this:

Customer: “How much is hosting?”
Me: “Well, it’s kind of like your cell phone plan, it’s based on how much you use. We have plans starting at $99 per month.”
Customer: “What about to start off… How much do I need?”
Me: “It’s hard to say. How many broadcasts will you have? How many people will tune in? Do you have any big events lined up?
Customer: “…?”
Me: “OK, not a problem! Right now we’re including the first month at no charge to help you figure that out!”
Customer: “Wow, you guys do everything, don’t you?”

Auto Record

Auto Record Your LIVE Events

Would you like all of your LIVE broadcasts to be available as Video On Demand as soon as the event is over? Our new auto record feature lets you automatically record your LIVE broadcasts from your broadcaster dashboard so you never have to worry about losing your events by forgetting to record them!

The TikiLIVE broadcaster and Web-based broadcaster have recording options built in, but must be activated manually at the beginning of each broadcast. Additionally, many 3rd party broadcasters do not automatically save your broadcast to the server for VOD availability. With the new Auto-record feature it doesn’t matter if you are using one of the TikiLIVE broadcasters or a 3rd party broadcaster (Flash Media Encoder, Wirecast, TriCaster, or VidBlaster) you have this convenient feature available to you. For more information regarding 3rd party broadcasters, please see our Eyepartner Blog.

Konk Broadcasting Network uses both Flash Media Encoder and VidBlaster for their productions, check them out here: www.tikilive.com/show/konkam

Track Your Success with Google Analytics

With all TikiLIVE networks you have the opportunity to use Google Analytics to track your network’s success. Google Analytics is implemented by including what is known as a “page tag” which is a hidden snippet of code that you add onto every page of your website. This code acts as a beacon, collecting private visitor data and sending it back to Google data collection servers for processing.

Focus your marketing resources on campaigns and initiatives that deliver a Return On Investment (ROI). Do this by targeting your markets and track clicks based on geography. The data is tracked by country, state and even city.

If you want to improve your revenue stream then it’s important to convert more site visitors into paying customers. Once on your site engage visitors and track how they navigate through your site. Loyal visitors are highly engaged with your brand and a high number of these visitors make multiple visits to your site. Good customer retention is key to building consistent revenue – the longer a visitor stays on your site, the more likely they are to buy!

For the latest information regarding Google Analytics, check out their blog here: http://analytics.blogspot.com/

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.

IPTV Set Top Box Back Panel

The Roku box is compatible with our platform so you can view the channels and videos from TikiLIVE – in the future you will also have access to the Pay per View and subscription content.

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
• Offer Videos On Demand for easy residual income
• Deploy integrated Advertising for additional income
• Produce TV-like channels with our Channel Manager

For people who are interested in the newest trends in television entertainment, there can be nothing more exciting than the trends happening in internet television (IPTV). As a matter of fact, when you look at what is happening, you realize that the landscape of media is changing dramatically. Many people probably remember the time when we were at the mercy of the big television networks. We could only watch what was on, and we understood that a lot of the time there really was nothing worth watching… But we sat there anyway. Picky viewers now have the chance to take control. The first thing they will want to do is explore the many IPTV services that are available.

If you are unfamiliar with TikiLIVE IPTV services, then the first thing you have to understand is that IPTV is a cable service that is spread through cables, just like internet broadband service. This means that you can get much more variety and you will also get better quality service. Perhaps most important for many people, you can also get the service for much lower prices, since the broadcasts are not happening through the conventional ways. You should also know that with IPTV, you are in control of what you are watching. You can watch any show you want and also choose your shows by genre. This really is an exciting new television service.

Live Video Broadcasting Software

Live Video Broadcasting Software
Although user friendliness, reliability and bandwidth are important factors to consider when using live video broadcasting software, you also need to consider the features that come with it. These extra features can make or break video broadcasting software. Different companies and individuals are going to require different features. Knowing this, Eyepartner has developed programs such asTikiLIVE and The HD Wave Broadcaster which are loaded with features to accommodate the many different companies and individuals using video broadcasting software. This article will discuss some of the many features that accompany each type of software and explain how it will benefit you.

TikiLIVE: TikiLIVE is 100% turnkey and an “out of the box” ready platform that utilizes the best live video broadcasting software around. TikiLIVE allows users to upload, store and manage videos, channels and members to create video content for niche marketing. In addition to all these features users can customize and brand, a.k.a. “white label,” every aspect of their network.

In addition to live broadcasts  users can simultaneously record them for use as Video On Demand. After the broadcast is over, you can save, view, edit or archive it for future viewing. Users can create multiple channels to accommodate multiple audiences and build interactive broadcasting network communities. Videos can be displayed in crystal clear High Definition or high quality Standard Definition.  Users can also create schedules for shows and even set the videos into a timeline and have them play on a pseudo-live schedule just like real TV!

Moreover, social networking tools like chat, messaging, and blogging are built into TikiLIVE, allowing viewers to comment on video they see in real time. For clients who are interested in monetizing their media we have several options. You can set all content, either Live or Video On Demand as Pay Per View. If you are looking for advertising revenue, TikiLIVE offers both pre, mid and post-roll video ads as well as banner ads. Not into micro-managing? You can sell channels to other broadcasters and let them do the work while you collect a monthly fee for this service AND a ticket master fee for any Pay Per View events they hold!

The HD Wave Broadcaster: The HD Wave Broadcaster enables users to stream in High Definition or Standard Definition. In addition, users can stream tournaments, concerts, movies, demonstrations, product overviews and a variety of other live events. You can stream your live and recorded events to IPTV networks directly to Set Top Boxes (like a cable box) too!  The HD Wave Broadcaster streams both HTML5 and Flash, allowing for optimal viewing for any device.

Great live video broadcasting software cannot function on features, user friendliness, reliability and bandwidth alone. These aspects must work together to provide users and their members with the best possible video broadcasting experience. With all of these things going on you should do your best to thoroughly research the software before you commit to it. We have a staff that is willing and able to help and you can always get us on the phone!

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.

Multi Language Module

Eyepartner, Inc.’s patent-pending High Definition Live Stream technology is built into many of its software solutions. For example, TikiLIVE links users of its streaming broadcasting service, combining social networking with HD media sharing in an unprecedented and singular experience. Marketing and brand building is a snap with TikiLIVE since it is a customizable web portal that comes complete with analytics that track viewers’ habits.

If your website reaches a global market you will need to offer it in multiple languages. The Multi Language Module creates identical templates of your website where each individual field can be re-written into another language. A “dictionary” is created in the account dashboard where the field-specific text is in rows and all of the languages offered appear in columns.


None of the text is auto-translated, though you can use Google translator for the bulk of the translation. This ensures that embarrassing miscommunications are avoided. Changes can be made to one language without affecting the others. A site visitor simply clicks on the flag for the accompanying language and the entire site switches to that language.

A complete introduction to TikiLIVE’s many features can be found at www.tikilive.org. More information about Eyepartner and the entire range of services the company provides is available through the company’s website, www.eyepartner.com. For more information, please contact:
