Question

GET ME STARTED - No Experience With Streaming

I am a freelance event videographer in Las Vegas looking to add live streaming and VOD to my services. I cover sporting events like amateur bodybuilding contests, boxing matches, live entertainment and theater events. I believe I can make streaming work in my business, but because I work primarily alone, I need an affordable platform that offers or supports pay-per-view, embedding, privacy protections, and so forth.

I have no experience with streaming and am suffering a steep learning curve. I have the Livestream Basic Platform and their Studio software to get started learning. Product works great, but their Enterprise platform at $10,000 a year is inaccessible to me.


I have all the equipment I need to shoot events, and live perform switches, but no knowledge of how to connect my equipment to the necessary services for delivering pay-per-view and VOD in a controlled, private and secure environment. Please point me in the right direction to some specific services that I may already be privy to as I have a Creative Suites CS 2014 subscription


I'd like to know about what you offer. I will attend the Streaming Media West event in Huntington Beach next month.

Hi

A good place to start might be with someone like Limelight Networks

There Orchestrate Video offering makes getting your vod and live content into an online player pretty easy and should cover most of your needs.

I cant answer as to costs but there is a free trial link, here:

OVP - Online Video Platform - Compatible with Any Device | Limelight Networks

Hope that helps!

Thanks

Thanks Conor. I talked to them today. Will get a demo tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous, though. They kept asking me what my budget was. Lol!
