"We evaluated several products but selected Telestream Wirecast for its reliable, multiformat live streaming, ease of use, and excellent support," said Steve Auer, President of Cadence, Inc. "Everything worked flawlessly. Real time statistics of the Wirecast stream, such as bit rate and audio levels, made it easy for us to monitor the feeds and provided our operations center with critical information during the live cast."
CES is the world's largest consumer technology trade show, where the makers of the latest electronic products show off their wares. CES invited Ford President and CEO, Alan Mulally to deliver the opening keynote address because he has positioned Ford as a leading innovator in the automotive industry.
Ford chose Cadence because of the company's ability to provide a total, integrated live video event package. In addition to live video production, streaming to a content delivery network and archiving of the video for later online viewing, Cadence provides preshow promotions, tracking, analytics and reporting of the live webcast itself. Cadence has a strong foundation in production, audio-visual staging and logistics. In addition to Ford, Cadence clients include such well-known Fortune 100 companies as Pepsico, Kraft, Toyota, Xerox, and PhilipMorrisUSA, to name a few.
"We're honored that Cadence, a leading provider of live event services, selected Wirecast for this prestigious event," said Barbara DeHart, VP of Marketing at Telestream. "Wirecast provides an innovative and affordable solution for high-quality video streaming of all types of live events."
