Adds a web-based admin portal, geo-blocking and other features
Summit Technology Group announced the release of its improved TundraCast Audio Streaming product. The company highlights an intuitive web-based admin portal, new monetization tools, advanced geo-blocking and a toolset for HLS streaming, metadata management and SoundExchange reporting.
Summit said this update is based on feedback from stations that use TundraCast or expressed interest in certain features.
“TundraCast has delivered on promises to include geo-blocking on the country, state and county level to allow stations to comply with contracts that embargo sports remotes or other syndicated programming,” the company said,
“The geo-blocking feature can be controlled in the admin portal or by using TundraCast’s secure API, allowing for control from a stations’ automation system.”
To alleviate regulatory burdens, TundraCast includes cloud-based logging and reporting tools that automate the process of monthly SoundExchange reporting. They include scheduled report generation and direct submission to SoundExchange on a station’s behalf.
Lead Developer Evan Roach said the cloud-based logging and reporting tools automate essential compliance tasks and provide real-time monitoring and control.
TundraCast has long boasted the highest quality bitrate in the broadcast industry and, with the addition of the TundraCast admin portal, now has the tools broadcasters expect in a powerful yet intuitive streaming solution.
Plans start at $79 per month with a 60-day trial. The addition of an Enterprise Plan allows larger groups the opportunity to purchase a license as a private-cloud architecture or collocate a private server in Summit’s data centers.
