Camera for Live StreamingWhen it comes to live streaming (aka webcasting), everybody's doing it. It's now commonplace to watch the news or playoffs on TV as well as on our laptops and smart phones. Watching current events, like the gubernatorial races across the country, are no exception. Who wants to wait for the recap at 10 o'clock or for the Newsweek Index next week to see who put their foot in their mouth on the campaign trail today? We want our content live, in real-time, and when necessary, free from the tether of the television.

Broadcasters here in Oregon, such as NBC-affiliate KGW Channel 8 and Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB), are getting in on the political action by streaming our candidates' debates live. In addition, OPB's multi-channel approach for the "Think Out Loud" series includes a radio broadcast this morning and TV broadcast tonight at 9 p.m. PT, along with live streaming to the web with content encoded by Elemental Live.

Elemental is preparing to pack up and head to the Big Apple for the thirteenth annual Streaming Media East technology conference, taking place May 11-12.  We look forward to seeing the East Coast broadcasters and production houses, especially those we missed in Las Vegas at the NAB show.

We’re excited to exhibit for the first time at Streaming Media East, especially since it’s such an intimate event compared to NAB and IBC. From the great turnout at Streaming Media West last fall, we expect to see a similar array of content owners, viral video creators, enterprise customers and broadcast professionals. While we might not be able to make it off the show floor for all the interesting sessions, we’re eager to hear about the latest online video technology and emerging business models designed to better monetize content.

At Streaming Media East, Elemental will demonstrate its enterprise-class, GPU-accelerated product line in booth 319, featuring:

Today, we announced the next step in the evolution of Elemental's enterprise-class product line: Elemental Live. Over the past two years, we've brought an array of products to market, ranging from a high-speed encoder for professional video editors to our new video processing system for live event streaming. With each product, we have focused our development on dramatically improving the end-user workflow by speeding up video processing and conversion using GPUs and maximizing video quality through proprietary codecs, designed in-house. We've upped the ante again, challenging the video processing paradigm with Elemental Live's features that streamline the live event production and delivery workflow.

Elemental Live Workflow

Elemental Live receives an input stream directly from an SDI source, such as a camera, or a UDP (IP) stream and provides format conversion, image processing and container conversion, outputting a new stream compatible with the desired streaming media server. Multiple streams are then delivered to each end user device.
