Broadcast Machine — a new, easy way to publish video online
Introducing Broadcast Machine, announced today by the Participatory Culture Foundation (aka the crew behind The Regular). Broadcast Machine is the next step in democratizing video on the web: it allows you to publish video content online to a virtually unlimited audience with ease. If you want to publish video on your website, give it a try today — it’s easier than most blogging software. Plus, it’s free (open-source for life yo) and it’s an innovative way to share more video content with your audience or friends.
As the launch website puts it, “Broadcast Machine is software for your website that can publish fullscreen video files to thousands, using torrent technology to reduce or eliminate bandwidth costs. It is free, open source, and designed for easy installation. Broadcast Machine features an intuitive interface, integrated torrent creation, and flexible channel management. It creates a browsable archive of videos on your website, but its real purpose is to be the perfect publishing tool for our video player that comes out in June. Broadcast Machine creates channels that, viewed in the player, give people a TV-like experience.” Check out Broadcast Machine, and get ready for next month when the Participatory Culture Foundation releases DTV, a desktop video player application that brings internet TV to the fullscreen. It’s going to be super glue. (Designers and developers, check out our code and get involved.)
