Our TikiLIVE IPTV solution just got a shot of adrenaline with our brand new middleware solution! Traditional Cable/Satellite providers offer subscription packages and now you can too! Follow their lead and create Basic, Plus and Premium packages, or blaze your own path with unique channel offerings of your choice. Our middleware goes one step farther. Not only can you charge for access to your IPTV network, these subscriptions are useful for Set Top Box or Over The Top (OTT) solutions and for mobile device access as well.

The viewer is able to purchase as many of these packages as they wish. This way they get exactly the content they want and you don’t have to worry that they’ll cancel because they don’t like the programming! Our integrated billing and user authentication makes it simple to charge one-time or recurring subscriptions.

Not the owner of the content being broadcasted? No problem! Our accounting tracks the licensing fees that you share with your content producers. Stay ahead of the competition with TikiLIVE middleware!

The Mystery of Middleware Revealed

As you might have guessed, middleware sits “in the middle” between softwares that may be working on different operating systems. If your IPTV network were a house then middleware would be the plumbing. It runs throughout the entire house and once you have it, you would notice if it were removed!

In the IT industry, middleware is a general term for programming that serves to connect separate and often already existing programs. For your IPTV network, these programs include your network, payment gateway (online merchant), and viewing devices. Through an authentication process viewers are only able to access content if they have paid for it. This payment is tracked throughout the network so access is granted on all devices for which the viewer is approved (online, set top box, mobile).

If you’d like a more technical explanation, middleware consists of a library of functions, and enables a number of applications to page these functions from the common library rather than re-create them for each application. This simplifies integration of future applications that will behave similarly to programs already in place.

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!

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.
