Madison, WI – Field59, a premier online video management system for live streaming, video-on-demand and over-the-top video solutions, today announced a partnership with Hinckley Productions, a full-service video production company specializing in video for online distribution and live streaming.

Natalie Hinckley, who founded her company that has been live streaming for nearly ten years, understands that adapting to digital production and live streaming isn’t enough – being a leader and doing it well – is key.
“Being in the business of video content production, partnering with Field59 is a powerful relationship for us. It weds our production expertise with their robust streaming platform. This gives us an edge in our industry. We’re able to control all aspects of a live broadcast, and can dependably rely on personalized technical support from the Field59 team.”

Currently, Field59 serves television broadcasters and newspapers an all-in-one video capturing, editing, encoding, captioning, delivery and management platform for video-on-demand and live streaming.
“I’m looking forward to growing with Natalie and her team by pursuing these new opportunities. We’re very pleased to work with another Madison company on national live events. Hinckley Productions brings superior quality to every live event they produce and we’re proud to be the technology behind it.”
