We're giving Livestream users the power to create live, original television programming, all done on their own global broadcasting channel.

The Livestream studio transforms all of this expensive 20th century hardware into one simple, easy to use application. We're making the beauty, passion and creativity involved in television production accessible to everyone. Million dollar equipment setups and "brick and mortar" studios are a thing of the past.

  YESTERDAY - The television control room, where the live video and audio are mixed

  YESTERDAY - Video switching hardware, common to all TV stations

• 

  YESTERDAY - Character generator, used to insert text and other 2D graphics

  TODAY - All you need is the Livestream studio, a web cam, and a broadband connection.

Livestream has introduced several new groundbreaking innovations, in addition to paying homage to traditional TV.

Before Livestream, the production control room was one fixed location, and all collaborators in the process had to be in the same building. Remote cameras for communication were possible, but also expensive since they required satellite feeds.

Now, with Livestream on your side, the production team can be in locations scattered around the world, and still work together as if they were in the same room. Satellite feeds are obsolete, since remote cameras are now inexpensive and easy to use.

Basically, we want to help you become the next media mogul.
