StreamShark and Hive Streaming: Delivering the Best Enterprise Video Experience https://streamshark.io/blog/streamshark-and-hive-streaming-delivering-the-best-enterprise-video-experience/ https://streamshark.io/blog/streamshark-and-hive-streaming-delivering-the-best-enterprise-video-experience/#respond Wed, 07 Feb 2024 00:43:41 +0000 https://streamshark.io/?p=116192 At StreamShark, we are proud of our long-standing partnership with Hive Streaming, the leading provider of eCDN delivery for enterprise video streaming. Together, we offer a seamless integration and a user-friendly experience for enterprise customers who want to leverage the power of eCDN delivery. On the back of this great partnership, we’ve got some exciting new updates to share with you! New Hive VX Pricing Models StreamShark now integrates and resells Hive’s latest “Hive VX Platform”, which offers a new simplified license scheme that encompasses eCDN and new enhanced VX features. It is based on Full Time Employees (FTE) using the service from unlimited devices. The FTE subscription model is available on annual plans. Additionally, StreamShark can offer Event based pricing for one off Hive-enabled events. This means you no longer need to subscribe to an annual plan off the bat to get access to the benefits of the Hive platform, and can instead leverage it for initial individual events. This is a great option if you don’t stream regularly which will enable you to discover the full Video Experience platform. Access To The Latest Features The biggest and most important update comes through a technical collaboration between Hive and StreamShark to integrate and certify (“Certified by Hive”) the latest releases of the Hive Plugin, and the StreamShark Event player. This grants our users access to these great features: Engagement indicators are a set of metrics that help Hive identify the video employee engagement. More specifically Hive collect anonymous information from everyone that participated in the live event regarding the player window position i.e., if it is in the background or the foreground, the volume levels i.e., low, high, or muted, and player window size i.e., full screen or custom size. All these metrics are combined to understand the overall engagement for an event for different data points, including viewers in office vs working from home. This feature allows Hive to enable different configurations for our WebRTC Customers, such as setting peering policies, limit bitrates, enabled/disable site-to-site peering, etc. This is a much sought after functionality by WebRTC Customers as they can customize the solution per their needs. A new and improved way of authorization, moving to a ticketless approach compared to the existing ticket based one. JWT adds the possibility to provide multiple manifests during initialization which provides enhanced flexibility. Introduced as part of Agent release 2022.1.0, the Booster is a new service module in Hive Agent. The purpose of Booster is to enable WebRTC as the only tech from Hive for optimization, while implementing the features that can’t normally be supported in the browser plugin and making them available to Hive WebRTC via Booster using secure local REST APIs. For example, access to all network interfaces. In certain conditions, the Partner platform has different configurations per viewer or different sources. To support this, we provide a regex attribute that enables the Partner to specify a pattern in the segment/manifest URL that identifies the same stream/segment even when the URL has multiple sources or is different per viewer. As part of the ongoing integration change, StreamShark required Hive to support an encrypted HLS stream with the manifest containing the key details, i.e., EXT-X-KEY tag in the playlist. The latest Hive plugin supported this configuration. What are the benefits of using StreamShark and Hive Streaming? By using our platform and Hive Streaming, you can enjoy the following benefits: How to get started with StreamShark and Hive Streaming?

  • Tailored Reports: Review your company’s utilization of Hive as well as key QoE metrics for events via tailored reports generated by StreamShark.
  • Lower load on server and network: eCDN delivery reduces the dependency on the server and the network, and distributes the video segments among the viewers, using their idle resources as distribution nodes.
  • Higher quality and scalability: eCDN delivery ensures that all viewers can consume high quality streams, regardless of weak network links or remote offices. The eCDN leverages P2P delivery, which scales to tens of thousands of viewers, without compromising the quality or the performance.

StreamShark Teams Up with Zoom to Help Enterprises Create and Scale Interactive Meetings and Unlock Virtual Production Possibilities https://streamshark.io/blog/streamshark-teams-up-with-zoom-to-help-enterprises-create-and-scale-interactive-meetings-and-unlock-virtual-production-possibilities/ Fri, 14 Apr 2023 20:38:21 +0000 https://streamshark.io/?p=116067 Enterprise A/V teams can host interactive meetings within StreamShark and scale and host recordings to unlock HD virtual and hybrid productions. LAS VEGAS, NV / April 14, 2023 / StreamShark, a secure, reliable and scalable enterprise video platform, is announcing that it has become a Zoom ISV partner and is introducing a turnkey zero-configuration application using Zoom’s Meeting SDK at the 2023 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. This app helps enterprises create high-quality interactive meetings, scale them organization-wide, and host meeting recordings. During and post-pandemic, many enterprises struggled with the pivot to remote and hybrid work. In 2023, this style of work is now standard for many large organizations. Town Halls, All-Hands, and daily meetings, which were previously held (and produced) in person are now hybrid events, with a growing need to capture those participants in-room as well as to add interactive contributions from remote locations while maintaining tight control and high fidelity of event production. Using StreamShark’s app, customers can utilize the familiar Zoom Meeting interface for both desktop and mobile clients When creating a meeting via the StreamShark app, StreamShark customers can select Zoom as the video source, which automatically provisions unique host and participant links. No additional logins or third party accounts are required for StreamShark customers to leverage this capability – the integration is seamless as meeting hosts and participants can access and control the embedded Zoom Meeting with a single click. The video feed from the application can then be seamlessly streamed with a single click to StreamShark’s Enterprise Video Platform, with no additional configuration required. Users can access all existing StreamShark Enterprise features , including reliable and scalable delivery via its global Multi-CDN, peer assisted (PDN) delivery for complex corporate environments, protection and access auditing of a stream via integrated Single-Sign-On (SSO) support, archiving of a Zoom Meeting, storage in the StreamShark VOD system, scheduled replay via StreamShark’s Live Schedule feature, and long lived discoverability and playout via StreamShark’s fully brandable Enterprise Video Homepage and Channels. “We are beyond excited to launch our StreamShark application with Zoom’s Meeting SDK and announce becoming a Zoom ISV Partner,” James Broberg, Founder & CEO, StreamShark. “For me, this feels like the major missing link for so many of our current and prospective Enterprise Video Customers. We have seen it all in the last 3 years, the good and the bad, as under-resourced A/V and UCC staff struggled with the challenges and searched for solutions demanded by their leaders and internal comms teams for our new collective hybrid working style. Homegrown solutions such as manually cropping or capturing participants from video conference feeds and dropping them into professional AV productions for hybrid or remote events no longer cuts it in terms of what leaders of Enterprises, and their employees expect from a high quality remote or cloud based production.” said James Broberg, Founder & CEO, StreamShark. “At StreamShark, we’re always searching for ways to de-risk major remote and hybrid events so that each event is a guaranteed success. StreamShark’s app and partnership with Zoom lets enterprise teams seamlessly provision the interactive elements of an Enterprise event, natively bringing in remote participants and scaling it effectively to their entire global enterprise in a consistent and brandable fashion.” StreamShark’s app with Zoom’s Meeting SDK is the latest feature debuted by StreamShark, as it continues to be one of the most trusted enterprise video platforms in the industry.  Learn more at https://streamshark.io/, or email sales@streamshark.io to schedule a meeting with StreamShark to discuss how the platform can help power your video communication strategy.

StreamShark’s On Device Integration for Epiphan Pearl Encoders https://streamshark.io/blog/streamsharks-on-device-integration-for-epiphan-pearl-encoders/ https://streamshark.io/blog/streamsharks-on-device-integration-for-epiphan-pearl-encoders/#respond Sat, 18 Apr 2020 01:13:12 +0000 https://streamshark.wpengine.com/?p=25745 We’re pleased to announce our latest hardware encoder management integration for the Pearl family of encoders in partnership with Epiphan Video. The custom firmware we’ve developed enables one of our deepest encoder integrations to date. Previously, an on-premise software agent was required to communicate between Epiphan encoders and StreamShark’s Encoder Management Solution. Now, Live stream operators and AV technicians can install our custom firmware on their Pearl/Pearl-2/Pearl Mini encoder, which contains an on-device agent that enables integrated control via StreamShark’s Encoder Management solution. StreamShark’s Encoder Management solution allows you to remotely configure, control and monitor the health of your encoder(s). Simply on-board your encoder once to StreamShark, after which you can start/stop streams on the encoder directly from your StreamShark Events for a low-touch, operator friendly live streaming workflow. Stream settings such as RTMP URL, Stream Name and authentication details are automatically applied via our API integration. Further, the status of your encoder(s) can be reviewed at a glance, including which encoders are being utilized and for which events. Enterprises, government bodies and education organisations typically have encoders behind strict firewalls, which means they are not accessible from the public internet. In this scenario, StreamShark’s Encoder Management uses a “polling” mode where your encoder polls StreamShark for commands, thus enabling secure and reliable access and control across intranets (incl. strict firewalls) and the internet, all from the StreamShark interface. With our custom firmware, your Pearl device can phone home and be accessible from within StreamShark wherever the encoder might be so long as it has access to the internet. This is beneficial if you have encoders being used out in the field whether as part of a mobile kit, or used in remote locations or even at employees’ homes in the current work-from-home climate.  Whenever the device gains access to the internet it can automatically configure itself without operators having to deal with the hassle of changing IP addresses. This is perfect for encoders which may be used in many different remote locations. You can learn more about the installation process here. The integration is available to customers on our Business and higher plans with access to StreamShark’s Encoder Management solution. Please email support@streamshark.io for access to the custom firmware files. If you’re interested in seeing a demo of the integration in action, please email sales@streamshark.io.
