Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work at a television station and we use Uplynk to clip video from our broadcasts for use on the website and on our YouTube channel. The produce is useful for allowing us to quickly get content from television online in a mostly seamless fashion so we can get additional views for our web audience.

Pros

  • Video clipping
  • Video playback
  • Archiving video content

Cons

  • Streaming video issues
  • Poor top image selection
  • Easier to use timeline for clip navigation

Return on Investment

  • Allows us to gain video views on our website
  • Allows for video to be clipped from broadcast to YouTube
  • Video archiving from television to digital

Pros

  • We used Limelight Networks (LLNW) for content storage and reporting. They continued to update and improve the platform. Their customer communication approach had evolved over the years to become very good.
  • We webcast live events throughout North America and abroad from multiple locations for multiple clients, simultaneously.
  • We built applications on top of LLNW infrastructure.

Cons

  • We found the LLNW business model and therefore workflow is not set up for multiple live webcasts. It can be done but it is not cost-effective as compared to competitors.
  • While their contracts evolve to be more competitive, those original customers/supporters are trapped in old un-competitive contracts and sales blames the lawyers for their inability to make changes.

Return on Investment

  • We built our live and archived webcasting part of our business around the LLNW platform. We built a successful business with the assistance of their tools and network. Management is really working hard to ensure clients are happy and are being assisted by the organization.
