Pricing Example

The total cost of a two-hour event with Standard input at 1080p and delivered to 200 viewers from the US (100 viewers in SD, 50 viewers in HD, and 50 viewers in Full HD) is $34.00.

Live Video Input:

Standard Channel = $2.00 per hour * 2 hours = $4.00

Live Video Output: SD output from North America = $0.0375 per hour * 2 hours * 100 viewers = $7.50 HD output from North America = $0.0750 per hour * 2 hours * 50 viewers = $7.50 Full HD output from North America = $0.1500 per hour * 2 hours * 50 viewers = $15.00

$4.00 + $7.50 + $7.50 + $15.00 = $34.00
