Gig TV is a unique Dot TV Channel with live streaming music concerts as they are happening! Artists and Bands can acquire a “global audience” for their “gig” using cutting edge live streaming technology. Any individual wishing to watch a “Gig” just has to create a user name and password, log onto the site, and purchase a ticket. Like normal concerts, the price of the ticket depends on “the gig;” just select the performance/artist you wish to see, purchase a ticket, and the ticket is e-mailed to you. Unlike normal concerts, you don’t have to be in the same city or even country to view the performance and if you’ve purchased a ticket and cannot watch the gig “live,” you can use your ticket at a later date.
Gig.tv live streams performances all over the world and cater to both novices and professionals. With a minimum of approximately four weeks, any artist or band can have their performance streamed live on Gig TV. The cost to the artist or promoter is in the provision of a mixed video and audio feeds. That entails a production crew and how many cameras are used; the direction and live mixing of the video feed; and any costs pertaining to equipment freight and personal provided by the Gig TV team for the concert. Because Gig.tv streams events with their own Content Distribution Network, there is no limit to the number of tickets that can be sold for the event.
Anthony Galima, CEO of Unity 4 Humanity, Inc. and Dot TV pioneer said, “Gig TV is an example of another stellar Dot TV setting a new benchmark during Dot TV’s Golden Age. One thing I really like about this Dot TV is both well known artists and those just beginning can be treated as equals and showcase their performances on a global scale. GIG TV is great for artists, great for Dot TV, and deserves to be included in both the Dot TV Guide and Dot TV on Demand.”
With Gig.tv, the end result is a real-time performance of superior quality that can be watched from the comfort of one’s home or on the go with a hand held device capable of connecting to the World Wide Web. It is Mr. Galima’s hope in the future Gig.tv incorporates more Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 features allowing “concert and performance attendees” to communicate with each other in real time during performances; and perhaps even communicate with the actual performers. U4H’s CEO went on to say, ”Gig.tv is great today, but the possibility for expansion with increased web functions for artists and concert goers is seemingly endless.”
