Storage is the total space needed to store video/ audio files on the cloud for instant access. Bulk storage prices are as follows.

Bandwidth is a measurement of the volume of data that a network or server receives/ transmits over a given amount of time. For example, when you watch a one-hour video, it takes around 500 MB of bandwidth in SD and 2 GB in HD mode. Your live streaming audience can watch the stream and you are billed on the total bandwidth consumed. You can purchase bandwidth at the rates below.

Encoding is nothing but the conversion of a raw video file into digital-first that is compressed and compatible for distribution across different screen sizes and resolutions. This enables seamless access to content by the audience regardless of the device and environment used.

The current rate of encoding: is US$ .50/GB

The total hours or minutes the server is used to run your live stream is defined as streaming hours. The moment you start the stream, LinqTV Live’s server starts encoding and processing data, and hence, the streaming hours are the time for which the server runs.

A content delivery network or CDN is a network of servers distributed across the globe designed to deliver content to users more efficiently and reliably across the globe. CDN ensures that live streams do not lag and reach the highest quality every time. LinqTV Liv
