Livestream- the many useful features

Livestream and your multi-campus delivery
Livestream has many advantages. One feature of livestreaming services that you might be able to take advantage of is multi-campus delivery.With a campus-to-campus livestreaming system that has remote-controlled hardware and software encoders, you can add as many locations as you like to your livestreamed event, and turn any one of them into a broadcast location at need. You can also integrate the stream onto your website, online media campus, Facebook page or Smart TV channel.

 Although this can be very useful for an academic institution, “campus” here just refers to the locations of the broadcasting and viewing. If your church wants to deliver a sermon or religious service to many locations at once, or if your business has many branches and wants to bring them all up to speed on something at the same time, a campus-to-campus livestreaming service is what you need, especially if it offers you your own choice of live-encoder.

A channel on a loop, or a selection of streams
If you want your playlist not just available but showing 24 hours a day, you can turn a video-on-demand channel into a VOD-to-LIVE continuous loop. This ensures that you will always have something happening at this channel, in the manner of a traditional TV channel.

LIVE-to-VOD recording, on the other hand, records a livestream in one or more channels, has them transcoded to be watchable on as many devices as possible and archives them. This works much better than trying to build an archive out of Flash files. (Think of all the Web sites where you keep Flash disabled because you don’t quite trust it. A lot of other people do the same thing.)
