Autumn greetings from your operations and streaming partner
Now we are up and running at full speed after the summer and the business is working very well despite the situation. We have reduced staffing in the office to a minimum, do not use public transport and have intensive contact via chat and video meetings. The number of customer meetings is higher than ever, but no meetings have taken place physically since February. A clear effect is increased use of our streaming products, where conferences, auctions, services and funerals are now everyday.
Streamio Live Stats
Now we can present a complement to our statistical integration with Google Analytics, a fast statistic directly in Streamio that in near real time shows the number of connected viewers.
How does a live production work?
New blog post goes through all that with encoding, ingestion and CDN – what happens after the camera, but before anyone can actually watch!
Work in Corona times
Home work in all its glory, but we cannot bring our servers home, but work must continue with maintenance and updates. In the Stockholm Hall there are strict requirements for, among other things, masks.
Quality cloud servers
In addition to our standardized server packages with monthly prices, you can buy servers per hour. Some of the advantages compared to many other cloud services are that everything is stored in Sweden from a Swedish company with higher redundancy than normal and better performance thanks to one we do not overbook.
New! Cut in Streamio
When we released the live auto-recording feature, we were quickly noticed that it is cumbersome to have to download the recorded material to cut out the introduction and end. Now that feature is available in Streamio!
Servers in Australia
We now have servers in two cities in Australia that we use to deliver video between a TV station in Sweden and one in Australia. We use two data centers for reliability and convert incoming video to SRT for stable delivery between continents. To customer we convert to RTMP.
New! Live in channels with Chat
Several major news stories in our Play channels have been released recently. Some of the bigger ones are the ability for rackfish live users to stream directly to channels (then you can have streams from Streamio and Rackfish Live running at the same time) – and the ability to embed, for example, chat in Streamio Live.
Live streams via API
Rackfish Live allows you to integrate live streams into existing solutions, directly via API calls. We have developed new packages for customers who use many streams and want to integrate a stable live platform behind existing products.
