Owning an Internet business allows you to reach out to an untold number of people all over the world. This powerful and instantaneous transmission of your ideas to every corner of the world can help you share your high quality digital content and make your reputation and business grow at an unprecedented rate. Not only can you deliver your video content to offices and homes on laptops, PCs, and televisions, but you can also reach people in their everyday travels through their smart phones and other mobile devices.
Thanks to all the recent developments in technology, it’s now possible to have a mobile phone today that is as powerful as PCs were in the 1980s and 1990s. After making technological breakthroughs, mass production helps makes things cheaper and can also make bulky machines into smaller handheld devices like smart phones and tablets. When you factor in the relatively recent arrival of widely available high speed Internet, large video and audio files can be streamed to mobile devices in a snap.
TikiLIVE can bring your high definition video content to potential customers even when they are sitting in a restaurant checking their voicemail. Our robust infrastructure allows you to stream videos to mobile users without worrying about interruptions of any kind. Our Monster Encoder module helps make sure that your video files are encoded to seamlessly stream to whatever device your customers are using to ingest your content.
Digital Files
Video and audio files come in a variety of containers and codecs. A file container is considered to be the file extension, i.e. AVI, FLV, MP4, MP3, etc. The container typically tells the user what applications can play the files. Within the video file are specific instructions for the playback of the audio and the video. These instructions are called a codec.
When recording digital audio and video, the file is not nearly as important as playback. You may encounter difficulties getting your video presentation out to many people if the majority of media players can’t read the file due to the container.
TikiLIVE helps you with our tool called the Monster Encoder. This tool can take most audio and video files and convert them into a file that will be viewed across a variety of platforms. Additionally, there is no drop off in quality post conversion. What is streamed to viewers is just as good as what you recorded and produced. While Monster Encoder processes your files, it also embeds HTML5 coding in the file so that mobile devices can stream your content as well.
Mobile Phone
It is truly amazing how popular smart phones are today. In less than 15 years, we’ve moved from bulky cell phones that could barely hold a charge to phones with computers in them that fit into the palm of your hand. TikiLIVE’s HTML5 capabilities will make sure that your potential and existing customers will be able to view your videos wherever they take their phones. Regardless of whether your customers have a phone with an Android operating system or a phone with iOS, there will be no issues viewing content. Additionally, our HTML5 streaming functionality means that should you possess an Apple TV device, you’ll be able to feed the content from your phone onto your television as well. This makes it a perfect way to take your presentation on the road with you – all you have to do is bring your cell phone.
Tablets
An up and coming mobile device is the tablet. Previously, the only real viable one was Apple’s iPad, but a number of Android based tablets are coming into their own, particularly the Samsung Galaxy Tablet. These tablets are perfect for those that don’t care for the small screen of a cell phone, but don’t want to haul around a laptop. The tablet is an emerging market in the professional world as well. TikiLIVE gets you on the ground floor with our HTML5 coded versions of your content. You’ll be able to get to people before other companies can adjust and scoop up customers by being the first business of your kind out there.
Other Platforms
Set Top Boxes
Not only does TikiLIVE help you reach people in a mobile setting, we make sure you are highly competitive everywhere else as well. One exciting development is the set top box.
A set top box streams Internet content onto a television. A good example of this is the Roku box. Roku users can stream Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and many other content providers on their large flat screen TV’s. TikiLIVE can help you create your own broadcast channel that viewers can place right alongside these other options. This brings you a whole new audience. You could sell training classes for companies’ continuing education of their employees without anyone having to leave their home. You could invite people to conferences and they can attend without getting up off the couch. This is a market that is only now beginning to reach its potential. By being one of the first out there, you can reach and influence a lot of potential clients.
PCs and MACs
While Windows and Apple based computers and laptops may be a reliable standby and not quite as fresh or appealing as mobile devices; they get the job done and are the standard for most businesses. TikiLIVE makes sure your video content streams onto these platforms without a hitch. Our Monster Encoder makes sure that your streaming files are coded into the highest quality files to make viewing the engaging experience you designed your content to offer. Additionally, we offer all kinds of integration into WordPress sites and social media networks that can be maximized on a laptop or desktop computer.
