✈️ Multimedia Totems in Public Spaces: Video Streaming with WimTV for an Enhanced User Experience

Posted on | by Isabella Chiariglione

In modern airports, train and bus stations, waiting rooms of public administrations, as well as in private entities, multimedia totems — digital kiosks equipped with touchscreen displays — are increasingly present to provide information and services to those in these spaces. By integrating the WimTV platform, these devices can be transformed into powerful tools for streaming video content, offering a more engaging and dynamic user experience.

📺 Integration with Multimedia Totems
Multimedia totems can be equipped with dedicated apps that display video content managed through WimTV. It’s possible to view video on demand and live broadcasts — for example, to provide real-time information or display scheduled programming directly on the totem screens. This integration allows you to:

  • Provide up-to-date information about services available in a specific location (airport, train station, clinic waiting room, etc.).

  • Offer promotional or advertising content.

  • Entertain people while they wait.

  • Generate revenue by selling highly targeted advertising space (each environment is frequented by a specific type of audience).

🔧 Benefits of Using WimTV in Totems

  • Easy management: The platform allows you to update content in real time remotely, without physical interventions on the totems.

  • Customization: You can create tailored schedules for different locations or time slots.

  • Monetization: Through the sale of advertising space, it’s possible to generate new revenue streams.

  • Compatibility: Content can be displayed on various devices, ensuring optimal viewing on screens of different sizes and resolutions.

Integrating WimTV into multimedia totems represents a valuable opportunity to improve communication with people in a given space, offer additional services, and create new sources of income. Thanks to the platform’s flexibility and advanced features, totems can be transformed into true hubs of information and entertainment.

Our President Leonardo Chiariglione, the father of MP3, interviewed by Rockit

Posted on | by Isabella Chiariglione

An article by Rockit has just been published, titled “Leonardo Chiariglione: the man who invented music as we know it”, and it features an in-depth interview with Leonardo Chiariglione, President of WimTV, the Italian engineer known for leading the development of the MPEG standards, including MP3 and MP4.

These formats revolutionized the way we consume music and video, making large-scale distribution of digital content possible.

In the interview, Chiariglione recounts the birth of the international working group that led to the creation of the MP3 in 1992, highlighting the importance of audio compression for efficient sharing of music files. The discussion also covers his role in defining standards that enabled digital television and Internet video streaming.

The article emphasizes how Leonardo Chiariglione’s work has had a major impact on the music industry and listening habits, transforming the way we experience multimedia content and paving the way for platforms like YouTube, iTunes, and Spotify.

For the full interview and to learn more about Leonardo Chiariglione’s story, you can read the original article on Rockit:

🎸 Welcome to PULSEROCKTV – The 24/7 Rock & Metal Channel! 🤘

🌐 Their website is already fully responsive, and they are developing an app to let everyone follow them from any device.

💡 Why did they choose WimTV? Because it’s a platform that’s easy to use, even without advanced technical skills – which allows them to truly focus on the music. Plus, the attentive support and cutting-edge technologies (such as the professional dashboard, scheduling tools, and live broadcasting) make it the perfect partner for PULSEROCKTV.

Stay connected, turn up the volume, and welcome to your new rock home.

Posted on | by riccardo.chiariglione

Did you know that it is possible to create a web live TV to broadcast your content live? A unique opportunity to share your videos with the internet audience, at any time and on any device.

WimTV is a platform that already hosts numerous TV channels dedicated to the most varied themes: education, entertainment, fitness, journalism, current affairs, religion, sports.

The latter represents one of the platform’s leading application sectors.

Sport events attract the interest of thousands of people every day. During the last Olympic Games the athletes competed in 37 different disciplines, five more than in the previous edition. These already seem like big numbers, however it is estimated that more than 8,000 sports are practiced all over the world, not counting the variations of each!

A web live TV allows you to share online matches, competitions, sports events and meetings of any competitive or amateur discipline.

As is the case with Media Sport Channel which broadcasts national and international sport events also in live streaming. Or of FidsChannel, the web TV of FIDS (Italian Federation of Sports Dance) which from 9 to 25 July broadcasted the Italian championships from Rimini.

With WimTV you can broadcast sport events in live streaming for free or for a fee, through pay per view.

It is possible to create one or more channels and broadcast more than one event at the same time. The quality of the video can be customised, taking into account that a higher quality implies a higher bandwidth consumption.

If you are interested in creating a new live TV web to share your videos online, register on WimTV! The procedure is very simple and allows you to immediately start uploading and publishing or broadcasting your content in live streaming.

Posted on | by giulia

By now, many have decided to open a web TV with WimTV.

The choice is vast: there are those involved in music, some in theater, some in information or sports.

For lovers of good music and healthy comedy, how can we not mention the timeless Renzo Arbore? Born in 1937, a very long career in music, theater, orchestras and unforgettable hits (do you remember Cacao Meravigliao?). At the moment the great artist continues to enchant, amuse and amaze his audience on his WimTV channel: the Renzo Arbore Channel. Many videos, unpublished or from repertoire. Duets, jokes, puns and lots of music.

Talking about music, what do you think of Sound Italia? This radio has also opened a web tv with WimTV. Interviews with Italian musicians and singers of all kinds and insights into the history of music without interruption.

Do you like theater? The Bologna children’s theater company FantaTeatro has chosen WimTV, to reach with its shows even small followers far away from the Bolognese audiences. Christmas shows for adults and children, the Betrothed in a theatrical version, Pinocchio … In short, an excellent idea to make the spectators of tomorrow passionate about the theater.

Do you prefer motors and sports? Then World’s Motors and Media Sport Channel are for you. On World’s Motor you will have a schedule entirely dedicated to car and motorcycle competitions, while on Media Sport Channel you will find the most diverse sports competitions in a single web TV.

In short, WimTV services meet the most diverse needs and allow you to create the right online TV for you.

Thanks to the WimCast service, Wim.Tv gives its users the possibility to create schedules. In other words, it allows you to create a real “television on the web”. An excellent example of this Wim.TV feature is the Mediasport Channel schedule: many programs divided by day and time, like on a real TV channel.

WimTV services, however, do not end there: do you want to create free or paid live events? Do you want to monetize your videos?

Fashion shows: even fashion chooses live streaming events

Posted on | by mael

We are not yet halfway through 2021 and we can already consider it the year of live streaming events. For obvious reasons, in fact, many events have had to resort to this tool to reach their audience. The sectors involved are many: e.g., sport, live entertainment, even politics.

This transformation has also affected the Italian fashion sector, starting with the Fall / Winter Edition of Milan Fashion Week. The appointments streamed on the platform of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, in fact, far exceeded those held in presence.

Alberta Ferretti, MaxMara, Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Prada: these are just some of the fashion houses that have presented their collections usingonline fashion shows. Overall, during the Fall / Winter Edition of Milan Fashion Week, there were about sixty live streaming or digital events, compared to just a dozen events in attendance.

This rethinking of the most important events in the fashion sector through online streaming has been the common denominator of all the biggest events in this sector in the world. Not only Milan,  but also Paris, London, New York.

Even individual fashion houses have decided to tackle social distancing by organizing live streaming fashion shows. In January, Dior presented its autumn / winter men’s collection with a live show and in April Michael Kors chose this mode to celebrate the 40 years since its foundation with a fashion show.

In short, live streaming events take hold in every sector, becoming an essential tool in this period of social distancing. But we are sure that, even when this crisis will be over, there will be a need for live online shows or live events in all fields where this phenomenon has already begun, including fashion.

In fact, thanks to the live shows, the stylists were able to reach all layers of the public, all over the world, at the same time: an unimaginable possibility with traditional tools.

For fashion houses that intend to invest in live streaming for the presentation of their collections, WimTV is the right solution. Thanks to its dedicated service, in fact, it allows you to open a series of channels in which to broadcast one or more ads-free live events.

Furthermore, Wim.Tv also gives the possibility to create paid live streaming events: the viewer, to access the video, will have to pay the price of the ticket. In this way, the proceeds will be greater, also thanks to the wider range of audiences that can be reached.

The WimTV proposals, however, do not end here:

  • The user can choose the quality with which to stream their videos
  • It is possible to create a private streaming event, visible only through the embed code (iframe)
  • It is possible to shoot and broadcast via mobile devices, thanks to free programs such as OBS, VMix and others.

In short, WimTV responds to the most diverse needs regarding live streaming events. Are you a stylist and would you like to present your collections in live streaming as the greatest in this sector? Visit the site and discover all our services.
