Gramrphone Integrations Help Creators Stream Live Audio to the Biggest Platforms

Since winning the Next Stage Challenge, participating at Wallifornia and being used by John Legend, London-based live audio streaming startup, Gramrphone, have been busy building integrations with some of the biggest streaming platforms in the world, positioning themselves as the first ‘live music distribution service’ in the industry. 

Providing an all-in-one alternative to OBS Studio that has been optimized for musicians and driven by their mission to help creators reach their fans in high fidelity audio, Gramrphone have taken their breakthrough audio streaming technology and scaled to a B2B environment, recently announcing a groundbreaking partnership to deliver live music to Boomplay in Africa. 

This integration is enabling artists like Wurld from Nigeria and Bomb$hell Grenade from Zambia, to stream live listening parties and performances of new projects, directly from their home studio to their fans, via the Africa’s biggest DSP. All delivered in crystal clear audio.

This is hot off the back of being featured as an official Patrion partner, and building integrations with household names including YouTube, Twitch and Mixcloud and indie-favourite Bandcamp. All of these integrations work towards achieving Gramrphone’s north star – making it instantly simple for creators to distribute professional quality live music to the biggest platforms. 

Graham Allen, CoFounder, Gramrphone, comments: “We’re super excited to be delivering live music into global music platforms like Boomplay. It creates huge opportunity for creators to drive release campaigns, for platforms to spotlight editorial placements and for fans to experience live music no matter where they are.” 

Gramrphone are part of a booming live audio streaming renaissance driven by Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces and recently Amazon’s AMP platform.  

Their success in emerging markets has been driven by this audio focus, lowering the barrier to entry for fans with restricted internet access unable to join video streams. Gramrphone have spent the last two years in this space, with a key focus in India – recently partnering with distributors OK listen to stream COVID-relief fundraiser concerts and it’s a trend they are looking to continue with the Boomplay integration.

Allen continues: “We’re always listening to creators, wherever there’s a platform they want to stream live music to and engage their fans, we’re on it. Whether that’s DSPs, gaming platforms or the Web 3 Metaverse.” 

Gramrphone launched an integration into Facebook. Which provides access for creators to stream live audio into Facebook’s rumored Metaverse. Bandcamp’s recent acquisition by Epic, also opens the door for creators to stream live audio into Fortnite, with the existing Gramrphone – Bandcamp integration already being used by indie acts Boyish, Medusa and Laroie. 

 

AVer Europe upgrades new PTZ cameras with NDI Pro AV technology to simplify livestreaming process. #AVer #Livestreaming

The new PTZ310N and PTZ330N models feature NewTek’s NDI® video standard integration that enables the cameras to communicate, deliver and receive high quality content with low latency, which is also frame-accurate and suitable for switching in a live production environment.

The NDI® standard enables seamless interaction between various control systems and AVer Europe’s camera hardware for capturing and livestreaming. Users can create robust IP workflows throughout all components of their production setup via one cable rather than having to wire every video or audio source directly into an SDI router, saving significant time and money through increased efficiency.

This new functionality combined with the powerful zoom, smooth movement and high-quality imaging offered by AVer Europe’s PTZ cameras, enables higher education institutions to capture classroom lectures and broadcast events such as Ted Talks or graduation ceremonies. The cameras also facilitate coverage of major awards, press conferences and tradeshows in business.

“This upgrade for the PTZ310N and PTZ330N enables users to access a new range of event capturing and livestreaming capabilities within both education and business,” explains Rene Buhay, AVer Europe Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “By integrating NDI HX2 with our existing advanced features in our PTZ range, we are improving Pro AV processes for content producers all over the world.”

The PTZ310N and PTZ330N from AVer Europe feature a powerful autofocus that maintains vivid, 1080p/60fps imaging quality in virtually any lighting environment. In addition to a 12X/30X optical zoom, the cameras offer precise, steady pan/tilt movements as small as 0.1° per step.

With built-in smart functions, AVer Europe’s newly upgraded cameras use facial recognition to adjust the field of view and can automatically track presenters through pre-set frames, eliminating the need for a camera operator.

AVer Europe’s PTZ cameras are available with a year’s warranty at PTZ310N MSRP £1699 exc. VAT and PTZ330N MSRP £2399 exc. VAT. For more information, please visit www.avereurope.com.
