wow MC, you've added a 4k video option!
Well done to MC, loved seeing this the other day. I'm about to begin filming in 4K especially now many other sites are offering this.
Question for site owners, which models here in MC already promote and provide 4K footage or are you staying on HD?
Kisses all, Natalie K

That's really great for people with same strategy as you Natalie, amateur porn producers with videos and clips oriented content.
As for myself and the minority (?) of social cam models using modelcentro to regroup our fanbase, it's a bit sad to host Live Shows in 480p (560 is too choppy even with my fast connection), and no sound for myself (haven't found any solution with support yet).
I don't have a DSLR so I mainly shoot with my phone for now, wich is ok I'm still tagged as "true amateur" lol. But I've got a fast connection and an ultra HD webcam. It's kind of a waste for me to not be able to offer this quality content to my members.
As a Camgirl, Live Shows are the chore of our business and what our members are waiting for (and the store we're super happy to get soon).
More and more cam models are interrested in making a modelcentro site (like Sophie from MFC a very popular girl). Because we feel that's the next step in the camming industry, a more personalized experience.
We use different strategies than "porn stars" and we need appropriate and working features for the people we bring to our "home". We have it already, but it seems it's a beta version of what it could really be. Despite the fact you upgraded seriously the video options, and we already had 1080p option, Live Shows options are far far behind (480p ? who watch that ?).
So, is there an upgrade coming this side too ?
I also have tons of suggestions of special features for cam models, like a Goal Count Down members have to tip for next show to happen, achievements/rewards depending of the interractions on the site (to encourage them making it a living place) stuff like that I have to do manually (blogpost, personal messages) and that isn't very visible nor clear lol...
I'll post those suggestions in the "Request, suggestions, Ideas" part of the forum.

TheNatalieK, we planned to announced this on Feature Friday, but you were the first
Sharleenflry, you can broadcast your live shows in HD, please take a look at this support article http://modelcentro.com/support/post/38314
@theNatalieK @SashaGreen
What streaming bit rate will be with 4k? It is 5 mbps for HD videos which is extreamly low and we have smashed picture on camera moving scenes. I hope MC will increase atleast bitrate of download able HD files first. My master files go through downgrade from 15 mbps to 5 now. Huge loose of qoulity. If 4K will be streaming with the same 5mbps... you better keep upload in HD.
AkaAlex, right now bit rate for 4K is 15mb and we also plan to increase it for other formats
Sharleenflry you are quite right that true the live show scenes are a great marketing strategy, especially more for some that do not do much filming. I'm pleased to hear from ModelCentro HD live cam is available.
SashaGreen Hey ya, omg, so so sorry, lol would have been better coming from you guys especially on a FeatureFriday. Oh well, the news had to be broke and it is a fantastic feature. Wondering, Alex has mentioned above, the bit rate, is there any way the HD bit rate can be viewed at what's being uploaded, as I too update in HD atm & around 8mb. Of course, the other option is I reduce it to 5 if that's what MC stream at.
15mb on 4k's fantastic! Thanks for everything Sasha & MC!
@SashaGreen Yeah increasing bit rate for HD is really needed thing.
@TheNatalieK 5mbps is ok for static scenes. Once you have moving scene like following your girl while she's walking you get terrible result with 5mbps... However we can't do a thing about it at the moment. I shoot HD and master file has 15mbps. Getting HD streaming with 15 mbps would bring super clear real high qoulity picture.
My movies are all 1080p HD & edited at 24mps & 29fps. Hoping the MC open the bit rate, I would appreciate it
