BG Live™
BG Live is the first and only standards-based SD and HD live broadcasting solution that delivers Internet broadcasts in 480p, 720p, and 1080p at 30 frames per second. Since its launch in 2008, television networks and Web publishers have broadcast nightly news, political conventions, presidential speeches, and President Obama’s inauguration with BG Live SD and BG Live HD.
Most live broadcasting solutions for the Internet are difficult to implement, prohibitively expensive, and deliver sub-optimal end-user experiences. BG Live takes minutes to set up, limits startup costs to off-the-shelf hardware and bandwidth, and allows end-users to enjoy smooth web streams rivaling SD and HD television.
Stream quality is optimized based on each person’s connection and users can visit any point in the streamed broadcast. Best of all, BG Live is a Flash-based service, so no download is required for end-users. Simply put, BG Live is the benchmark for easy-to-implement, high-definition, cost-effective live Internet broadcasting.
