Telestream has introduced Wirecast Go, a stand-alone iPhone live streaming app that adds to ENG (Electronic News Gathering) teams’ ability to be first to break the news.
The app enables users to capture content using their iPhone camera, insert graphics, logos, titles and other images and then stream live directly to YouTube or any other Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) server supported by a wide variety of content delivery networks (CDNs).
According to Barbara DeHart, VP of desktop business at Telestream, “Today, smartphones are proving to be a valuable asset for field-based broadcast news teams and many other users, empowering them to capture news and events in ways that were previously unimaginable.
“Wirecast Go enables video journalists to create professional live productions on their iPhones and then broadcast them on the broadest range of social or private networks.â€
Wirecast Go will be available with two levels of features and functionality. The standard version, which targets the enthusiastic amateur user, is free to download from the App Store and enables unlimited live streaming to YouTube from an iPhone.
Meanwhile, users looking for added functionality can unlock the premium features of Wirecast Go for $5.99. These enable live streaming to any RTMP destination and switching between unlimited numbers of shots, as well as provide the the ability to capture and replay highlights from the live production with just a few clicks on the iPhone.
Wirecast Go will be demonstrated at IBC at the Telestream Stand 7.G30. It is currently available in beta.
