Dialog Audio Announces All-In-One Live Audio Streaming Service

Audio performance tools developer Dialog Audio announced the opening of live — an aptly-named, all-in-one live streaming service specifically targeting audio content producers as a cross-platform, easy-to-use application able to broadcast live in high quality at low costs — to public beta testing, as of August 24. The service encodes audio into an AAC stream directly to multiple services simultaneously, allowing support for social networks such as Facebook, YouTube and others.

In my previous report on IBC 2018, I addressed some key technology trends from the IBC show in Amsterdam (September 13-18, 2018), in the perspective of audio technology, content production, and distribution. Of course, on the backbone of all the tremendous changes that are currently happening in the media business, broadcast, and professional production, the topic of audio-over-IP (AoIP) and the ongoing transition to fully IP-enabled operations in all platforms - traditional linear television, radio (digital, hybrid, virtual, etc.), and new over-the-top and on-demand streaming services - is front and center.

Streaming high-quality audio to the web is now easier than ever with the newly introduced Telos Z/IPStream family of software, hardware and PC encoding tools with support for both Microsoft Smooth Streaming and Apple HLS technologies, using only genuine Fraunhofer IIS codecs and accepting audio input via Livewire, AES67, and RTP.
