Livestream Launches Free iPhone Service
Delivers ‘One Click’ Live Streaming to the iPhone
No need for iPhone users to download any application

NEW YORK (Nov. 12, 2009)— Livestream, the leading live Internet video platform, today announced the immediate availability of its free service for streaming live to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Using Livestream Procaster, users can stream live from their webcam, video camera or even broadcast their PC or Mac desktop. Livestream producers can start streaming live to the addressable iPhone and iPod Touch audience over 3G or Wi-Fi connections, with less than five minutes of setup.

Livestream is the first to offer a turn-key streaming service that uses the new H.264 HTTP live streaming functionality included in the native QuickTime player that Apple has pre-installed on the iPhone. This means that Livestream producers do not need to obtain iPhone App Store approval to launch their own iPhone live streaming channel, nor do their viewers need to install any application. Streams are viewed using the iPhone’s Safari browser.

Livestream has also provided a simple Representational State Transfer (REST) API for developers to integrate live streaming into their own iPhone websites or their own iPhone applications. Livestream Procaster includes a free streaming encoder, which means that no third party application or license needs to be purchased in order to stream live to the iPhone using Livestream.

“A key breakthrough is that the service doesn’t require any proprietary player or application to be installed on the iPhone. Producers are free to integrate the iPhone live stream with their own website, iPhone portal or iPhone application using the API provided” explained Livestream CEO and co-founder Max Haot.

Streaming live to the iPhone requires less than five minutes to install. Producers simply download and install Livestream Procaster for the PC or Mac from www.livestream.com/procaster, connect their video camera or webcam, select iPhone 3G Quality, and press Go Live. User can view the live streams on their iPhone or iPod Touch by pointing their Safari browser to the channel they want to view at iphone.livestream.com.

Livestream will first use this new feature at NewTeeVee Live, the conference for online video influencers being held on Nov. 13 in San Francisco. Viewers can watch it live at iphone.livestream.com.

Livestream Producers – Get started now.

    Absolutely AMAZING guys! So this is only for the live shows that are streaming through procaster, not for shows on rebroadcast. What about shows that are streaming live through the studio?

    Wow! That’s pretty impressive. But i think a free application would be handy, so you don’t have to go the url every time.

    Livestream does it again.
    Another great tool for possibilities.
    NB We also need Corporations to think creatively about opening-up their communication channels. This will require Corporate Communication Managers to understand the potential of new media and have the confidence to trust the power of this medium.

    One of the good things about the subscription version of Procaster is the ability to create private channels – a great opportunity for organisations to reduce their carbon footprint.

    The ease of use of this technology is also great.
    Best of Luck.

    Now all you guys have left to do is to allow live streaming FROM the iPhone, like USTREAM lets us do.

    That’d be great!
