A Dacast Case Study
1545 Media is a video production company (clients include Loyola Marymount University, Kaiser Permanente, Unilever and others) that needed to expand client reach and produce compelling live and short-form video, but faced high entry costs for streaming, the need to create separate accounts per project, and compatibility issues with different encoders. To solve this, 1545 Media evaluated and chose DaCast’s video streaming platform (Streaming as a Service).
DaCast provided bulk bandwidth purchasing, unlimited channel creation, and broad encoder compatibility, allowing 1545 Media to amortize streaming costs across projects rather than pay monthly per event, run simultaneous streams with separate project accounts, and use a range of encoders from Flash Media Encoder to TriCaster. As a result, 1545 Media now consistently delivers live streams and hosted videos for universities, churches, sporting events and brands, meeting client needs while lowering per-event costs and avoiding conflicts between projects.
