‘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.

“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.
