Video Streaming

The Internet is today’s one-stop source for accessing all types of media content. With LightWay, you can give your viewers the opportunity to view your content LIVE on the web from any Internet connection in the world. This is the perfect way to reach out to viewers who cannot access your televised channel due to cable provider issues, audiences beyond your town borders, and newer generations of Internet users.

How It Works

When your station partners with LightWay, a trained technician installs an onsite, rack-mountable (3u) computer that encodes all of your video content and, from there, sends all media content to LightWay’s servers so that it streams live. On the station’s end, managers use the online Commander to access and operate their streams and website. On the viewers’ end, they simply log onto your website and watch the stream.

Hardware

LightWay’s Stream Broadcaster hardware connects to your station through either a digital or analog connection such as RCA, BNC, FireWire (IEEE 1394), for video, and ¼” or RCA for audio. With LightWay, your system is customized to your exact needs. A trained technician then installs the hardware without any disruption to your current setup.

Pricing

Because we designed our solutions using new and efficient technology, we are able to offer the most competitive prices. Our streaming solutions only cost $1,000 per year, per channel.
