Cloud based video productionFrom NewTek, SIENNA NDI, GoEasyLive and Teradek
Definition of a “Real Time Video Editing”Real-time video editing is a system of editing video where it takes no longer to render a video than the length of that video clip itself.
Broadcasters traditionally used large, disparate computer systems for real-time video editing with multiple CPUs, multiple gigabytes of RAM and high-powered hard drives. Some had additional hardware components designed to enhance the performance of the specific video editing software being used. Other approaches used to ensure real-time playback included continuous background rendering, and using multiple networked computers to share the rendering load. These systems would allow broadcasters to edit and render a video clip in 30 minutes.

Definition of “Live Streaming”If you search wikipedia for “live streaming” you are directed to “Streaming Media” described as audio visual media presented to an end user while being delivered by a provider
Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a provider

Will the video production industry move to the
cloud?
Let’s watch our review video on the next slide...
One other question.. I understand that there is device specific software to convert video to RTMP (i.e. VMIX, Wirecast, Wirecast go) but is there a cloud based option where I could stream regular video to a cloud based server to do this conversion?

The Teradek core is perhaps the most advanced cloud based management system for live streamers available today.
Teradek Core Features1. Stream to multiple online video platforms at the same
time2. Video archive and management3. IP routing and configuration4. Integration with “Live Air” allowing video production
from Smart Phones
These features allow broadcasters to remotely deploy Teradek encoders anywhere in the world and manage their broadcast from a remote studio. I can’t wait to interview Jon and show off this amazing product!
Teradek Core Pricing
Keep in mind hardware encoders are required for each device used with the Teradek Core.
This product is really a cloud based video management platform for Teradek customers...

EasyLive Pricing is $39/month &
$.15/minute of streaming
When does cloud based video production make sense?
Pricing DetailsGoEasyLive - Includes 1 year subscription ($399) and $.15/minute fee.
Teradek - Includes 1 year subscription and one Teradek Vidu ($499).
vMix & Wirecast - Includes license for streaming but not PC/hardware

Now businesses can get into professional live streaming at extremely low budgets with
almost zero upfront investment!
At roughly 40-50 hours of streaming GoEasyLive = the cost of vMix/Wirecast
Rough pricing from GoEasyLive and public pricing from vMix, Wirecast, Teradek and NewTek
What’s even better? You can now stream directly off PTZOptics cameras to places like YouTube Live, Facebook and EasyLive!

A look at the live streaming market
As live streaming becomes more accessible and affordable the market will enter the early majority. Some say that the current USA market has already entered the early majority.
What about multiple cameras? Will this triple my bandwidth?
When using multiple cameras EasyLive suggests the use of a video production software as a front-end switcher. While you can stream directly off each camera you can save bandwidth using a switcher.

Conclusion
I think cloud based video production is 2-3 years out from changing the entire industry the way we saw it happen in video conferencing
Conclusion Continued
Even though Skype and GoToMeeting have been out for 10 + years it took a long time for SaaS (Software as a Service) video conferencing to outpace the hardware solutions on the market. The biggest trend we are seeing is “build your own” live streaming computers and complete systems. There are so many DIY projects going on where the tech guys want to get their hands dirty.
