Newtek and Wowza Media systems have teamed up to create MediaDS, a hardware-software platform for realtime encoding and a live streaming video delivery mechanism. First teased at IBC2016, MediaDS is touted as an industry first, enabling among other features the ability for content creators to launch multichannel distribution networks from their own production venues and then deliver directly to viewers.
The First Ever Global & Local Media Distribution Platform
Multi-channel media encoding and streaming video system distributes content directly to viewers on any device both within your environment and externally through all common delivery services
In this tutorial we will show you how to easily connect a Teradek VidiU Pro to Wowza Streaming Cloud™, allowing users to quickly and easily stream live content globally, and to any device.
My son is allergic to peanuts. I, on the other hand, can’t fathom a world without peanut butter, specifically peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Although he’ll likely never eat that perfect sandwich himself, I have hope that he’ll understand the perfection of the peanut butter and jelly combination. That hope lies in the forthcoming all-in-one streaming appliance from Wowza and NewTek that simplifies the workflow for people who want to produce high-quality live video and distribute it seamlessly to their global audience.
Peanut butter and jelly. Hardware and software. The two powerhouses of the condiment world. The two industry leaders in streaming. It just makes sense.
