Dave Watts

The 7th Annual VidCon just wrapped, attracting scores of online video superstars, content creators, and fans to Anaheim June 23-25th. 2016 was the biggest ever for VidCon, with a packed agenda of panels and events covering gaming, beauty & lifestyle, and much more, plus an Industry Track seminar series of 22 master classes taught by industry experts. 

20,000+ people were in attendance, with legions more watching online. All live streaming video from VidCon was captioned using EEG’s Falcon Streaming Caption Encoder.

A virtual caption encoder accessed on-demand through the EEG Cloud Services website, Falcon provides an efficient and cost-effective web only captioning solution to any content creator streaming live material online.

VidCon’s video producers benefited from on-demand usage-pricing for sending live captions via EEG’s iCap™ Captioning Network directly to their YouTube Live Events.

Falcon is currently compatible with YouTube Live Events, Wowza Streaming Engine, VideoLinq, and UVault. Additional streaming services supported by Falcon will be announced.
