The Ontario Educational Communications Authority (hereafter referred to as “the Authority”), conducting business in the Province of Ontario as TVO is seeking submissions for a “Live Web Streaming Solution” that will provide live streams to our distribution partners that currently include YouTube, Twitter (Periscope), Facebook and Brightcove. The system is required to be flexible enough to accommodate changing distribution specs (i.e. bitrates, resolutions, etc.) as well as other distribution partners as needed.
