Elemental allows professional content producers to easily create and synchronize YouTube Live events for encoding on the Elemental Live platform.

Long-time customer World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) deploys Elemental gear in a variety of streaming workflows, including the use of Elemental Live to stream pay-per-view pre-show events via YouTube Live.
NexGen Network (NGN) offers live streaming coverage of the world’s best Ultimate Frisbee. NGN produced the YouTube Live broadcast of the Club Championships in Sarasota, Florida, October 25-28, using Elemental Live to deliver four live streams ranging from SD to HD resolutions to YouTube Live for distribution.
The technical team managing the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony live streamed the annual event to a worldwide online audience.
