Anvato Cloud Solution Offers HD Live Streaming

Anvato, an integrated TV Everywhere platform provider, today introduced a new live streaming solution designed for broadcasters and live-event producers.

Targeted for tent-pole events, remote broadcasts and in-the-field reporting, Anvato Live Cloud addresses live streaming, clip editing and social sharing. It simplifies the encoding requirements for multi-device delivery, while offering real-time sharing from the cloud to major social networking websites, including Twitter and Facebook.

Clips are also archived in the cloud and become available for download. Live Cloud is available at pay-as-you-go rates. Anvato is showcasing the technology at Streaming Media East starting tomorrow, Tuesday May 13.

“Our goal in creating Anvato Live Cloud is to provide simple live streaming, cloud capture and clip editing to all broadcasters and live-event producers, regardless of their current infrastructure,” says Alper Turgut, CEO of Anvato. “The bottom line is that Live Cloud supports both live-event streaming and archiving, clip editing and social sharing in one self-service platform with HD quality. We are the first to offer this complete package.” 

Key highlights of Anvato Live Cloud include:

• Multi-bitrate live transcoding and archiving in the cloud

• Create and share highlight clips in the cloud

• Video player included for desktop and mobile

• Social sharing, including Twitter and Facebook

• Broad encoder support, from free software to broadcast hardware

• Self-service SaaS platform

Unlike consumer solutions, Anvato Live Cloud is based on the award-winning Media Content Platform (MCP), yet it is offered as a self-service, SaaS product.
