If you’re a web publisher, you certainly know that audiences are devouring video content these days. Videos have become the main form of expression for a majority of content creators. For the last several years though, even with the world’s vast library of online videos at everyone’s fingertips, live streaming has taken center stage. Subscription-based streaming services such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, HBO Now, Hulu, and others are becoming the easiest and fastest way for people to get their hands on everyday entertainment and preferred premium content.
When it comes to video consumption and even online video monetization, Live Streaming is the place to be. Publishers may now efficiently incorporate branding into their product/project via the customized player skin. Just embed an interactive real-time experience on your branded site and efficiently monetize the stream through pre-roll video ads.
Live Streaming and DVR
With DVR functionality enabled and incorporated into your video management system, you’ll be able to significantly increase interactivity with their live video content. Essentially, viewers can now pause, play, and rewind live events. Anyone who is watching an event after the initial broadcast time can now easily head to an earlier position of the video. Easy.
Keeping an Eye on Bandwidth Consumption
The main advantage of BridTV Live Stream is an intuitive and fast and very easy-to-set-up system. Not only that, but publishers have the option to create multiple renditions in different sizes thanks to live encoding. That’s right, BridTV’s multiple renditions are encoded straight away, so publishers may select the preferred video quality. The video quality depends greatly on your bandwidth (as well as your Internet connection). Using BridTV Live Stream means you’re going to have to keep an eye on your bandwidth consumption or rather bandwidth stats. This data entry shows how much bandwidth your live streams have spent.
Naturally, Brid supplies publishers with an accurate report on all consumed bandwidth. Tracking bandwidth consumption at any time is available via our main dashboard, as you log into the Brid CMS. The data is displayed in real time, which is very helpful and gives you precise consumption information almost immediately. In other words, you are able to watch and know your limits, so as to formulate an adequate strategy for you to live stream your projects globally.
Bear in mind that, as the bandwidth increases, so does the video quality. Additionally, BridTV includes a full-featured live stream, denoting HLS streaming protocols, which are generated on the fly. HLS is considerably more reliable, faster, and a lot safer than previous video technologies. Utilizing this specifically tailored system is straightforward, and you can find the full details and how-tos here. Videos and events are streamed and recorded automatically. The video then automatically appears in the CMS as a Video-on-Demand (VOD).
Powerful Live Streaming on the Horizon
The DVR update and the current BridTV live stream services are but the tip of the iceberg. Publishers are soon going to emjoy a massive quality boost for their live streaming. The forthcoming upgrade will encompass 4000kbps live streaming. This particular jump in quality will allow you to make the most out of your live video content, live events, or live media.
It must also be said that the viewer experience is the utmost priority, which is why you can rely on a smooth live streaming process, with unparalleled quality, and last but not least, industry-leading publisher and dev support. Also featuring Mobile Live Streaming, BridTV Live Stream was fine-tuned and skillfully crafted for performance, quality, and a glitch-free viewing experience.
