The development of the Fluidcast enterprise level platform was started almost ten years ago by FluidCast Technologies, LLC, a leader in “on demand” video content delivery.
FluidCast Technologies is headquartered in Texas and San Hose California. It was founded in 2007 by Claudio Lai, its current CEO and President. The FluidCast Platform has had over one million dollars spent on it’s development. It was built in order to distribute and monetize video, audio, products and other forms of digital and physical content, on the web, mobile, smart TV or IPTV, like never before.
The Fluidcast platform includes a comprehensive front side user interface which allows an administrator to encode, manage, distribute and deploy a fully turnkey functioning website, mobile app or smart TV app with their content. The platform also manages live or recorded content distribution to end users. The Fluidcast platform is completely adaptable and customizable as well as secure and scalable.

Monetizing content has never been so simple, The Fluidcast Platform allows users to pay for digital content like never before. Pay Per Minute, Per Download and Rentals.

* RTMP/RTSP
* HLS
* And Many Others
In a “free” advertising business model, the Fluidcast platform can still show detailed reports of which videos are being watched by which user in real time.
An administrator can choose to allow users to watch certain files for free without registration or select which ones require registration (even with a free account) in order to collect member data.
The Fluidcast platform can also act as hybrid advertising and subscription based model where some videos are free to watch with advertising, while others require payment or registration with no or limited advertising.
Do all of this without having to have any knowledge of programming or design!
