Case Study: Live X achieves broadcast-quality, frame-accurate Facebook Live streams and higher engagement with Wowza Video (ClearCaster)

Live X - Customer Case Study

Live X is a global live-event production company that streams high-profile broadcasts—from the NFL Draft and the Democratic National Convention to Times Square and New Year’s Eve. They needed a fail-safe Facebook Live solution after software and other hardware encoders repeatedly fell short of broadcast-quality video and produced unpredictable start times and dead air, which hurt live discoverability and downstream VOD views.

By adopting Wowza ClearCaster, Live X gained a plug-and-play, dedicated Facebook Live encoder that delivers consistently superior encode quality and a frame-accurate countdown so broadcasts start exactly on air. Integrated into their 12G-SDI 4K studio workflow, ClearCaster improved engagement and reach, removed manual encoder tweaking, supported major-scale events reliably, and became a recommended, permanent part of their setup.
