Built for professional broadcast operations

Schedule programming, deliver over SRT and Zixi, monetize with SCTE-35 — every feature designed around running 24/7 linear TV, not generic streaming.

Multi-station

Every station, one dashboard

Launch and manage each channel independently — its own schedule, playlist, and ad config — without one station's traffic impacting another.

  • Unlimited stations with per-channel encoding profiles
  • HLS, SRT, and Zixi output from the same pipeline
  • Per-station analytics and access controls

Scheduling

Visual playlists with ad break markers

Build 24/7 playlists with rotation rules, fallback content, and SCTE-35 cue placement on the timeline — adjust on the fly without stopping the stream.

  • Frame-accurate break placement from playlist timeline
  • Live override for breaking news or special events
  • Gap-free fallback chains for continuous playout

Monetization

SCTE-35 ad insertion end to end

Schedule cue tones from your playlist. Markers flow into the HLS manifest so your existing ad server picks them up — no manual splicing, no missed breaks.

  • EXT-X-CUE-OUT / IN in manifest
  • Per-break fill rate and revenue tracking
  • Event log for compliance and reconciliation
