The infrastructure we run for you

What a hosted channel gives you

Traditional playout needs servers, video cards, routing, spare parts and a team of engineers to look after them. Hosted playout moves those functions into software on rented infrastructure, so you use a service instead of owning equipment.

• Fast start

  Prepare a channel, load content, test and launch without housing any playback equipment.

• Flexible growth

  Add channels when the programming grows and wind them down when it does not.

• Resilience options

  Cloud capacity can be duplicated across locations. Ask us what that could look like for your channel.

• Reach

  Distribute to viewers through our content delivery network and partner platforms.

How the channel reaches a viewer

1. Assembly

   The platform joins your schedule into one continuous stream.

2. Encoding

   The stream is prepared at several quality levels.

3. Delivery

   Our content delivery network sends it from a nearby point.

4. Playback

   The viewer's player picks the right quality for the connection.

When another set-up fits better

If you recently paid for a large estate of equipment with years of service left, a hybrid arrangement may serve you better. If your sources are baseband video in one building with no dependable upstream link, that path needs attention first. Read Decide where the channel runs for the full comparison.
