Omnilive and Globecast partner to offer enhanced live streaming experience
Omnilive has partnered with global media solutions provider Globecast to deliver cross-platform, multi-angle live streaming anywhere, anytime and on any platform or device.
Omnilive is a multi-source, latency-free live streaming video solution that allows its customers to take a different, more engaging approach to streaming content creation. The Omnilive Software-as-as-Service platform delivers multimedia content and multi-camera viewpoints and lets viewers dynamically choose their viewing experience. It offers easy micro-service integration and, combined with Globecast, this creates a powerful partnership in the live streaming space.
When coupled with HLS transcoding and redistribution via Globecast’s CDN services, Omnilive’s multi-camera and multi-angle broadcasting technology ensures unlimited international streaming and audience engagement, allowing customers to better understand their audience and its behaviour via metadata collection.
The partnership has already been put to the test in July when an augmented hybrid live stream (with on-site and digital audiences) was set up at the Vienna Jazz Festival using multi-camera and multi-angle broadcasting.
Yann Madeleine, sales director at Globecast, said: “We’re pleased to have worked with Omnilive on this festival and now more widely to offer users a unique experience for cultural events and beyond. This jazz festival project was far from being an experiment, rather it has now evolved into a service we offer, and we’re proud to have once again proven our reliability and responsiveness when it comes to live streaming content.”
Omnilive CEO Cyril Zajac stated: “Working with Globecast is the obvious choice to ensure a premium-quality viewer experience with all-important reliability. Having this level of partnership with Globecast is something startups like ours greatly appreciate! Globecast has demonstrated a great deal of agility and this has allowed us to adapt our platform precisely to our customers’ needs.”
