The internet is a boon to small businesses. It allows you to almost instantaneously transmit your ideas and present your services to a very large audience very quickly. Recording video has never been simpler to do. You’re able to capture video on small cheap video cameras or simply use a mobile device like a tablet or a smartphone. Thanks to rapid advancements in home computing, it’s an inexpensive proposition to get a laptop or a PC that can edit and produce high quality digital content that engages the viewer and motivates them to purchase your services. The advent of high speed internet allows your content to be transmitted to just about anywhere in the world. People can view it on their computers, smart phones, tablets, and on their televisions thanks to the invention of set top boxes from companies like Roku. TikiLIVE is a leader in cutting edge high definition video content delivery. We are constantly thinking of new ways to apply innovative technology to stream video faster and at higher quality. We spend a lot of time and money building a very strong infrastructure to ensure your viewers are not subjected to interruptions or buffering errors while watching your video content. We also understand that while downloading that content is important, it’s necessary to put equal effort, time, and technology into uploading video content to our website.
The Importance of Upload Speed Optimization
When uploading your video content, there are a couple of goals you want to attain. One of them is making sure that the quality of the video is not compromised during the upload process. The other is that your high definition video needs to be up on the content provider’s site as quickly as possible in order for your existing and potential customers to see it.A high quality digital file can be large and this can slow down many sites that stream content. Some sites even set limits. However, TikiLIVE’s upload speed beats the competition and still ensures high quality video thanks to two of our more popular tools, Monster Encoder and Monster Uploader.Monster Encoder is a video conversion tool. This tool can take almost any known video file format and turn it into an mp4, flv, or a webm file for easy streaming for end users. There are many types of video files in existence with different codecs and containers. A container is the file extension such as avi, mp4, and flv. This typically means that it can be viewed on some playback applications, but not all. The codec portion of the video file contains audio and video instructions that tell the application how to play the file. Our video converter will take any of the formats and convert them in less than real time. This means if your video is five minutes long, it will take less than five minutes to convert the video into something that can be viewed on a PC, mac, or mobile device. We make sure to add HTML5 encoding to the video for mobile device viewing. And the converted video will have the same quality as the original video file. This tool can work with any file size so you don’t have to cut your video up into parts due to fears that our Monster Encoder will crash. Our Monster Uploader helps with queuing up a large number of videos for upload. If you have a large number of flv or mp4 files, you can use this tool to set up a batch upload while you sleep or are working on other business. Simply select the appropriately formatted video files. An information screen will open asking for such details as title, description, video channel, etc. Once you’re finished, click on the Add Video To List button and repeat the process for additional videos. After the last video is selected for uploading, Monster Uploader will begin to send the files to our server. This tool creates an efficient means of using our fast upload speed in bulk.
Live Broadcasting
In addition to the simple practicality of needing to get prerecorded content up on your content delivery system’s site as quickly as possible, there is another very real need to have fast upload speed: live event broadcasts.This is a very popular trend in online businesses. You can broadcast live for a variety of reasons. You may be communicating with your employees who are in a number of locations. You may be conducting a webinar for customers and potential clients. You could be hosting a conference and having some people attend virtually. Or if you’re in the entertainment business, you could be broadcasting a concert or similar event. Whatever the need for live streaming event, you don’t want your viewers to miss out on what you are saying due to choppy upload speed affecting the broadcast. We make sure our infrastructure is robust enough that your video content source is uploaded and encoded quickly so that your events will not have any latency problems, audio problems, pixilation issues, etc.The reason you want to use TikiLIVE for your video content is because without the reliability of our fast uploading capabilities, you would not be able to properly monetize your content. For example, you could conduct a live training class and charge for attendance. However, if your high quality digital video streaming service is not up to snuff and your students grow frustrated waiting for the content to stream to their platforms, odds are you will not be getting much repeat business after you have issued the final refund.This also holds true with prerecorded content. You may need to make last minute changes prior to a deadline. Our fast upload speed means you will have more time to do that since you will not have to start uploading a file hours earlier with one of our competitor’s hosting solutions.
