Why HD streaming to TikTok is important
TikTok is a social media platform where a 30 second clip could make you rich through user views and reshares through generating advertising revenue. As with anything good it is highly competitive requiring 30 seconds of genius flawlessly implemented and this is where HD streaming to TikTok is key to your success. No one wants to see grainy videos and a simple change to HD streaming to TikTok can make a big difference in how the content is received; investing in good equipment gives you a much greater chance of success.
What do you need?
First you need a TikTok account if you want data streaming from TikTok to users. Next you need to pick the right HD camera with streaming capability, not all SLR cameras for example provide this feature so check specifications before getting one. HD streaming to TikTok will also require a HD encoder that is able to take the unformatted camera data and format it for transfer. These are dedicated devices that can be small and mountable on an SLR camera or stowed in a backpack while filming.
The great thing is that some have bonded 4G or even 5G technology that allows them to be used in areas where wireless IP is intermittent. 5G is 100x faster than 4G and as around 30% of major cities have already adopted it with others following suit in the US bonded technology will be able to leverage this for even better performance. These devices with bonded cellular connections use two or more connections to transmit data, if one drops in quality the other picks up the slack. As systems only care about the designation of the data packet and not the transmission means the packets are compiled on the cloud-based hosting solution prior to being sent straight to TikTok and other social media or business based sited depending on configuration.
The Impact of Quality on Success
Bonded technology ensures that the image is crystal clear and when compared to a similar product that does not offer this, there is a clear difference between the two sources. An encoder that uses non-bonded technology may show a grainy picture compared to the boned encoder. When streaming from TikTok a user must see a clear picture and not be thinking about the quality of the media only the content and if they want to reshare it. Poor quality feeds are a blocker for this as the quality sent out reflects the user sending it. The same applies to business brands that must update to current fashions every 3 to 5 years due to the same mirroring effect.
Fully integrated solutions
It is easier than ever to select the right equipment for you thanks to fully integrated solutions provided by live stream solution providers. All the hardware is modular and you can buy as much or as little as you need and when you need it. To help with hosting, these companies often offer a hosting solution that enables you through cloud access to direct the stream to where you want it within minutes during initial setup. You can use a production tool as the hosting tool sends the feed out to add graphics or allow production teams to switch between multiple cameras. When you want to add another camera, you can buy another encoder and register it with the hosting solution making it easy to scale. Thankfully also the hosting solution is a subscription service that lowers the initial outlay for HD streaming to TikTok giving you better chances for success.
Simple hosting
You do not need to worry about different countries if you are streaming worldwide as TikTok’s platform has provision for this meaning that there will never be a lag to the stream or dropped frames. If you also stream to other platforms worldwide such as multiple business sites the hosting solution will optimize the stream for you to assure that lag and dropped frames is not an issue, making streaming a breeze to set up.
