ETN launches the first end-to-end online infrastructure for earthTV.com. For the first time, viewers can enjoy the television program “The World Live” through their internet browser on the earthTV.com website.
Until now, ETN successfully transmitted raw camera video signals live from around the world to the ETN production center in Germany. However, satellite broadcasting technology was necessary to send the final program back to viewers worldwide live. This has changed with a new online infrastructure and web player technology, allowing “The World Live” feed to be watched online.
As of today, the latest technology upgrade enables ETN to transmit “The World Live” program in real-time back to the world online. Additionally, it offers third-party partner websites individual video links and embed codes to post the camera feeds, along with providing embedded players for content syndication.
