Internet Protocol Television, or IPTV, is the wave of the future for online business. It’s a way of streaming video onto a television via a set top box and an Internet protocol suite instead of using cable or satellite. If you create high definition video content and use it either to drive purchases of your services or monetize the actual content, you want to be in this new marketplace. By having your content streamed on IPTV, you will be reaching a brand new audience at a time when many Internet businesses aren’t.
How did IPTV come into existence? Due to innovations in high-speed broadband Internet and computer technology, it’s now possible for you to record videos on your computer, hand held recorder, smartphone, or computer and quickly upload it to a content delivery network. For the end user, it’s so much easier these days to view high quality streamed content on their computer, television, or mobile device. With more powerful and less expensive computers and now widespread availability of high speed Internet, everyone can afford to have streaming content pretty much wherever they go.
TikiLIVE is a content delivery network that delivers your high definition video content to a viewer’s doorstep. We make sure that your audience has a positive viewing experience by eliminating buffering problems, latency issues, and many other malfunctions that can cause you to miss out on growing your audience and business. We have a strong suite of Internet tools and options that make uploading and encoding content a breeze. We also offer you the ability to monetize content through our Pay Per View options and tools.
Broadcasting Your Content
IPTV is a paradigm breaking invention. Previously, to get on television, you had to try and buy time via your local cable channel or local satellite television provider. You generally had little control over airtime and could only select a few options as to how often your content was playing. Typically, you were also on a local channel that everybody ignored because the interesting content was on another channel or service. So technically you were on television, but by every real standard for you and your business, you were not. You were throwing good money away.
IPTV changes that. It turns the possible into the actual. You will reach new viewers and an entirely new audience because you will be providing content right alongside vendors such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and more. Not only that, because you have an internet presence, you will be able to cross promote your content thereby getting people who spot your content on their mobile devices or computers to check it out on their television. Or more importantly, to tell people who view their Internet content on IPTV all about you and your business.
IPTV Benefits vs. Cable/Satellite
You will be able to select play times for your content by creating your own personal broadcast channel. This enables you to organize your content so you can sequence various videos in whatever order you prefer. You will also be able to have this content play nonstop if you so desire. You would never be able to do that with cable or satellite.
Cable and satellite television providers would make you pay for each time that your content is aired. If you wanted it aired again, you would have to pay more. Because your high quality video content is on the Internet, you are only paying a flat rate for your Internet connection and the cost for TikiLIVE to host your content. This makes IPTV much more effective than satellite and cable.
With IPTV, you can charge for people to view your content. Should you wish to charge admission to live broadcasts or charge for prerecorded content, TikiLIVE has a number of tools that allow you to set ticket price, select ticket vendors, issues refunds, give away free tickets and much more. Unless you had a lot of clout and/or money, this just was not an option to purchase from a cable or satellite television provider.
The Benefits of TikiLIVE
TikiLIVE makes sure that your content is widely available on many platforms, not just IPTV. You will have a strong presence on smart phones, tablets, and computers, as well. We make sure that we upload and get your content on as many platforms as possible through a variety of strategies and tools, in particular Monster Encoder.
Monster Encoder is one of our most popular tools. It allows the user to take all kinds of video files such as AVI, MP4, FLV, etc. and encode it into a file that can quickly be streamed across multiple platforms. The files that are created while recording and producing video content can sometimes be difficult to play on certain devices and applications. Monster Encoder ensures that viewers are able to see your content with no technical difficulties.
Additionally, Monster Encoder embeds your videos with HTML5 capabilities so that it can be streamed onto mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Regardless of whether the mobile devices utilize an Android or Apple operating system, your content will stream with no problem. Next to the IPTV market, the mobile market is where you can pick up viewers that may not use computers to view Internet content.
