Affordable HD Broadcasting with TikiLIVE

Here in the Eyepartner office we have many computers, several of them acting as dedicated broadcasters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are evenly split between laptops and desktops; we have HPIBMToshiba and Dell computers. It’s an assortment because we jump on great deals when we see them. We prove that you don’t have to spend a lot to be able to broadcast Live in High Definition.

With the introduction of our High Definition broadcaster, The HD Wave, we needed more processing power to be able to handle the strains of broadcasting in true HD. When you broadcast live, the video has to be encoded in real time from whatever file type the video is created in to Flash Video (FLV) in order to be broadcasted over the internet. In order to ensure Fidelity of a video, a quad-core processor is necessary, at a minimum.

A multi-core processor breaks the feed into as many streams as there are cores and then encodes all of the streams simultaneously. For example: a quad-core processor splits the feed four ways, a 6-Core splits the feed into six streams. To broadcast in HD, we recommend at least a quad-core processor. This reduces the chance of your video lagging, buffering or dropping frames.

Our latest purchases have been an HP Laptop and an HP Desktop that we picked up from Office Depot. Both were on sale for under $800. They both have Intel i7 Processors (quad core) with 4GB DDR3 SDRAM. These machines have enough power to run The HD Wave and broadcast live over the internet without breaking the bank.

The HD Wave Broadcaster

Multi-core processors have only recently become accessible to the average user. Quad-cores have only been on the mainstream market for two and a half years. As expected with computer technology, the prices have dropped significantly. Average prices in May of 2008 were well over $2,000 – today computers with those specs are $800 or less. As is the case, you can always find a $2,000 model. Current high end products feature 8-Core processors with 12GB RAM. These features are great options to have, but they are not necessary for today’s normal use.

When choosing a computer, you should look at the performance and functionality you are looking to achieve. Laptops are great if you want to be mobile, but you give up some performance. Desktops are faster with larger displays but are not easy to transport and cannot take much abuse. What sort of use to do have planned for the computer? If you plan on doing Live Broadcasts like us, are these broadcasts going to be from one location or will you be travelling to find your content? Whether you decide to get a laptop or a desktop.

With all of the choices it’s easy to choose indecision over action. Once you put your mind to it, you can get a computer capable of broadcasting in HD for under $800. Just 6 months ago these computers were over $1,200. Just make sure it has a Quad-Core processor or higher.

How to Use a Canon Vixia for Live HD Streaming

The following review offers you a quick and easy solution to the question: How can I do live streaming with a Canon Vixia series camcorder and have HD quality? Using our new HD Broadcaster, The HD Wave, together with the Intensity Pro capture card from Black Magic we are streaming in crystal clear HD. Buy the Black Magic Intensity Pro from Amazon.com.

In order to transmit both video and audio through a broadcasting computer, a broadcaster must connect a video source and an audio source to their broadcasting computer or Plug and Play Broadcaster. HD video sources will only be recognized by the The HD Wave and require a special HD capture card. It is recommended that the “HD Broadcaster” be used on a computer with at least a Quad Core Processor for proper results.

Here is a short list of capture cards that we have tested with our Network and their compatibilities:

Konk Broadcasting Network

Eyepartner Inc. is the developer of such streaming video solutions as TikiLIVE and the recently released HD Wave broadcaster.  Eyepartner designs their 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 businesses without the need for expensive proprietary broadcasting equipment.

KONK Broadcasting Network, KBN, a radio, television and internet broadcasting network out of Key West, Florida has recently joined Eyepartner’s client list.  In an effort to expand into the live-streaming internet market, KBN has created a TIkiLIVE HD broadcasting channel which can be viewed here: www.TIkiLIVE.com/show/KONKAM. The configuration includes a quality laptop, three HD webcams and a USB hub for accepting the video feeds.

“Since we’ve started using Eyepartner’s TikiLIVE we have found it to be easy to implement. The integration into the business model was simple and the channel looks great. KBN is growing and is looking to expand our involvement in the video broadcasting market and Eyepartner is helping us do that.” Says Guy deBoer, KBN Station Director.

“We’re excited about this channel and what KBN is doing because it illustrates the diversity of the clients we have. We hope others will see this as a way to extend their audience worldwide like KBN has done.  Streaming HD video during radio broadcasts is the wave of the future and a way to reach a global audience” says Tim Green, President of Eyepartner.

KBN makes use of the Channel Manager which is a standards based H.264 streaming solution that requires absolutely no proprietary hardware.  The software was designed to easily manage content timelines on the fly – in real time allowing the content producer to ingest LIVE breaking news or sponsored media spots at any moment. This also makes it easy to replay content during normally off-broadcasting hours.  Streaming content may be automatically recorded server side and edited with an easy to use drag-and-drop dashboard interface.  Channels can be produced in minutes and configured to broadcast HD streams 24 hours a day.

For video switching KBN uses 3rd party software, VIDBlaster. All three camera feeds are connected through a simple USB hub connected to a Laptop.  This allows for multi-camera real-time switching and editing. It enables novice or professional broadcasters to enhance their live shows by including transitions, overlays and video effects.

Letter of Recommendation

When I was looking for a way to promote the new $250 Million Hilton Fallsview Hotel expansion in Niagara Falls, Ontario I chose the TikiLIVE platform to broadcast a live stream of the majestic Niagara Falls. We went with TikiLIVE for three important reasons: quality, stability, and reliability. There are hundreds of streaming media platforms on the market today and we chose Eyepartner’s TikiLIVE because it’s the best product out there bar none.

I installed two PCs with HD cameras on the fifty fourth floor of the Hilton back in February of 2010. Since that time the TikiLIVE platform has been performing flawlessly. When you are promoting a property like this the product you choose put’s your company’s reputation on the line, in this case failure is not an option. Our team tested many products and determined TikiLIVE was the way to go.

For the 2010 tourist season we saw sales increase for the Hilton almost 200%.  What more could you ask for? The Eyepartner group was instrumental from the beginning in all aspects. From hardware and camera selections, to assisting with going live and continued technical support. We would not have had the success we’re having without Eyepartner. They not only worked with us on the setup and deployment but worked hand in hand with us doing upgrades and modifications. Besides having a tremendous product and support staff their monthly bandwidth fees are lowest in the business.

Our hats are off to TikiLIVE and we continually recommend their services worldwide.
