Your Linear Live Streams on EVERY Screen!
Lightcast.com Clients have access to a variety of Lightcast OVP Tools to create and deliver linear (24/7) live streams to all devices and screens.
Option 1: Ingest your own linear (24/7) live stream to any of our CDN SuperPOPs and have it delivered to all your publishing properties: websites, mobile apps, TV Apps and social platforms. No matter the source: whether ingesting an existing satelite or cable channel, or connecting your playout system - you are in control of bitrate qualities and ad-breaks.
Option 2: Lightcast.com's innovative "VOD-to-LIVE" product: let Lightcast.com auto-populate linear (24/7) live streams from your uploaded on-demand archives straight from VOD playlists.
Option 3: Lightcast.com's innovative "Cloud Scheduler & Playout System": drag and drop your uploaded on-demand assets into a schedule grid and use our intuitive interface to auto-fill scheduled ad-breaks with your ads.
All your linear live streams will be delivered through our bitrate-adaptive, high-performance CDN with 72 delivery POPs worldwide - publishing your live stream on any platform and device of your choice.
Your Live Streams on EVERY Platform!
With Lightcast's live streaming software, you can instantly publish live stream events and linear live streams to all platforms!
1. Websites: embed our customizable live-players, use your own player or build dynamic content with the LightcastAPI on your websites.
2. Mobile: embed our responsive and device adaptive live-players or integrate your live stream events and linear live streams in your mobile apps.
3. OTT / ConnectedTV: integrate your live stream events and linear live streams into your TV Apps, or let us do it for you.
4. Social Platforms: instantly publish your live stream events to Facebook Live, Facebook App or YouTube Live to capture additional viewers.
5. Online Media Campus: use your own, or take advantage of Lightcast's complimentary live-stream campus in your custom branding.
Live Streaming Encoder - Your Choice!
Use our official partner Wirecast - leader in software-based live streaming encoders, ask our Streaming Media Consultants about recommended hardware encoders, or simply use the live streaming encoder you have been using before.
Just point your live encoder to one of our many SuperPOPs (our high-efficient access points), add the secure stream-key and - you're LIVE! In any bitrate and resolution you want. Control your bitrates straight from your live encoder and just watch your live-audience multiple overnight as we publish your live streams to all your websites, apps and platforms of your choice.
Lightcast.com Publishers have access to complimentary live streaming encoder coaching and testing.
The higher the resolution of live streams - the more critical transcoding & number of delivery nodes become.
4K & TV Quality Live Streaming Services
In order not to lose viewers, all 4K content needs to be optimized for fast loadability.
At the same time, viewers who are unable to load or sustain a 4K version without re-buffering need to be able to load lower bitrate versions of the stream.
Multi-bitrate delivery via global CDNs is critical in order to build and sustain growing viewerships.
