Teradek, the world leader in compact wireless HD H.264 video encoders, and Livestream, the market leader for live event coverage, today announced they will co-host the second annual "Best of NAB" event, a live web broadcast from the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show floor between April 16-19, 2012. The live show will bring together many major industry influencers for panel interviews and discussions about the latest products and technologies being announced and shown at NAB 2012. Guests will include executives and luminaries from Atomos, Canon, Edel Krone, Flo Light, IDC, Ikan, K-Tek, LCD Mic Flags, Light Iron, MXL Mics, Nikon, Pelican, Polcam, Red Rock Micro, Rosco Lights, Small HD, Sound Devices, Think Tank, Zacuto, and several more.
"Teradek is the first Company to stream live from the NAB show floor, which we began doing last year when we introduced our first 'Best of NAB' event, giving viewers a real-time 'insider-view' of the latest show news," said Nicol Verheem, CEO of Teradek. "It was so well received – we streamed 1.3 million viewer minutes right from our booth – that we decided to team up with Livestream to provide our online viewers with an even better live production that will be sure to keep them glued to their computer screens."
Teradek and Livestream have invited well-known industry guests and dignitaries from around the world to discuss and demonstrate the new products and workflows at NAB. The production will also demonstrate the power of Teradek's award-winning multi-cellular transmitter Bond, which will be used to broadcast all content from Teradek's main stage and from various locations within the convention center directly to Livestream's new platform.
The live joint production is being produced by Livestream's accomplished production team, which is well-known for their work with clients such as Facebook, Marvel, Paramount, Nike, and the Associated Press. To bring the premium content to online viewers, Livestream will be using their new Livestream platform, which provides the world's first ad-free unlimited streaming service in full HD.
"We are excited to partner with Teradek for this live joint production and have this opportunity to showcase the New Livestream. In addition to the live video, there will also be real-time text, photo and video clips showcasing what is happening on the NAB Show floor," said Max Haot, Co-Founder and CEO of Livestream.
The live broadcast will take place at Teradek's booth C11037 and will be hosted online at http://new.livestream.com/teradek.
