Every April, thousands of the world’s leading broadcasters and content creators flock to Las Vegas to experience product developments from their most trusted technology partners, firsthand. At Brightcove, we’re excited about how the innovations we will be showcasing at NAB 2017 are transforming the experience and economics of video by prioritizing broadcasters’ goals of driving audience reach and profitability across platforms.
Last week, we announced Brightcove Live, an API-based live streaming solution that offers seamless integration with existing workflows and the ability to monetize content across a broad universe of devices with server-side ad insertion (SSAI). This new solution for live events and 24/7 channels allows broadcasters to optimize stream quality and latency with a highly-scalable, geographically-distributed cloud architecture, and offers advanced features like cloud DVR, live clipping, and live-to-VOD publishing. Brightcove Live reinforces Brightcove’s commitment to improving user experience, increasing revenue potential and reducing the cost of delivery with broadcast-like playback across every device and flexible pricing options for different business models. These benefits were experienced directly by Seven West Media in its coverage of the Australian Open - citing both decreased production times and faster time-to-live as a result of the Live to VOD feature.
Demos. To see an in-person demo of Brightcove Live, visit Brightcove booth #SU2724 at 11am each day of NAB, followed by a presentation of our marquee end-to-end workflow demo (including Brightcove Live) at 11:30am every day.
