Costs and Benefits of Premium livestreams
Premium livestreams cost your organization $10/hour, plus:
$0.99 DRM unlock fee on Livestream-only events
$1.49 DRM unlock fee on VOD + Live events
Unlock fees are incurred each time an audience member enters the livestream, and the $10/hour fee is charged per Premium livestream program.
For example, a 2-hour Premium livestream would cost your organization $20, plus DRM unlock fees.
Resolution: Premium livestreams are high definition, with resolution capabilities of up to 1080p.
Security: Premium livestreams are secured by DRM-protected streaming, hence the application of the DRM unlock fee.
Bitrate: Premium livestreams have a fully adaptive bitrate for better playback. We re-encode the livestream on our end to generate a resolution bitrate ladder.
HD Export: Your organization will receive a free high definition export of the livestream to keep for your records.
TV App Support: Premium livestreams can be viewed on our Eventive TV Apps, including Roku, Apple TV, Firestick, and more.
Live Captions: Automatic live captions are included with Premium livestreams to make your livestreams as accessible as possible, for no extra charge.
