Video, Wireless Internet, and Web Professionals

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Neokast Stream Server software works especially well with the following types of people:

Video Professionals: use the Neokast Stream Server software to enhance your already existing services. Do you have a knack for encoding and working with the “big time” cameras? We allow you to live encode with the best codecs out there with minimal hassle and overhead.  You are then able to stream out video the way you produced it with no sacrifices in quality.

Wireless Internet Providers: add Neokast Stream Server software to your list of services. If you are supplying a large amount of wireless bandwidth to your client, they probably aren’t using it for email and web surfing - they are using it to push a lot of data. These days, it’s usually video content uploaded to a server for people to download later. Why have people download content when you can stream it to them in the form of a live broadcast? We are one of the few companies out there that play well with emerging wireless Internet technologies.  

Web Professionals: tie in the video production and Internet parts of streaming and enable the end user to watch pristine streams. If you go to the Neokast website and view a stream right now, you will see a new ‘customize’ option that provides a variety of stream embedding options. Set up your site for pay-per-view and monetize your Neokast streams!

Local News Affiliate Live Internet Broadcasts

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Why is it that the only way you can watch a local news is by being present in the city it is being broadcasted in? What if you are in Chicago and want to see the local news in San Francisco?

Without Neokast technology, you can go on local news affiliate websites and see a few flash video clips. Those video clips are more of a novelty than a real advancement in live Internet broadcasting, an advancement we predicted we would acheive one year ago.

We are now fully prepared to deliver live Internet broadcasts to every local news affiliate in the United States and beyond. The Neokast Stream Server Software enables anyone in the world to create their own 24/7 channels of live or archived content.

 Our list of customers is quite diverse and is increasing exponentially.  Many of our clients are actively monetizing their content. Their streams are hidden for viewing on the Neokast website for this reason. The streams are viewable on their site on a subscription basis. Since they are the producer of their content, they have complete control over who does and does not get to view their live broadcasts.

Stream Server and The Underwater Salmon Cam

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

For the past month we have been working with a great deal of Neokast Stream Server clients. There has been a large demand for the product, even with one blog post mentioning we have a commercial product!

Stream Server is an incredibly versatile product. It latches onto any live encoded signal and injects it into the Neokast Media Network. This feature enables anyone to create 24/7 live broadcasts of live or prerecorded content. The broadcasts, if given public access by the publisher, go immediately on the Neokast website. The publisher then has the option to embed the Neokast player on their website. In other words, they publisher then has the option to monetize that content and create a new business out of it!

Check out the Live Underwater Salmon Cam from Hancock Wildlife on the Neokast website. If we can empower a client to create a unique real-time live broadcast like that, think of what we can do for you and your business!

New products, improved website

Friday, October 19th, 2007

There is a new release of the website available that does not require a login. As soon as you go on the site, you are enabled as a guest user. If you’d like to quicKast, you’ll have to login though. The site also has a significantly faster load time. Keep those quicKasts coming!

Your stream viewing experience has also been enhanced with Neokast Stream Player. As always, be sure to let us know how the streams are working for you. 

We have also released Neokast Stream Server to selected commercial clients. Commercial clients with a Neokast Stream Server license can broadcast an unlimited amount of real-time live or archived (from file) audio/video content to the world in the form of 24/7 looped channels (or Internet radio stations if you are doing audio). They have the freedom to put the content on their own website and essentially use Neokast to generate revenue for their business.

Clients are also welcome to spread out their content on individual web pages instead of putting the content all in one stream. Neokast Stream Server enables businesses to center their business around online video space with the highest quality and unlimited amount of concurrent users.

To content owners who want to distribute their content and capitalize on the online broadcast market, Neokast Stream Server empowers businesses to create their own customized, real time live online media solutions with low investment and high return.

By the way, “Stream Server” does not mean that you need an actual server for this product to work. Stream Server just means that you are hosting whatever content you want to stream to the world and our software helps you inject that stream into the Neokast Media Network.

 Email questions@neokast.com for more information on how to obtain a Neokast Stream Server license.
