Channel distribution for broadcasters, from one contribution feed

You deliver one contribution feed to the core site nearest your playout: SRT, RTMP, a satellite downlink we already receive, or a fibre hand-off. We take it once. From that point the channel lives on our headend beside the other 1535 feeds and is available in every hand-off our customers use.

We transcode the ladder, package CMAF for HLS and DASH, encrypt for SRT, apply MultiDRM where a customer needs it, and record for restart and cloud DVR. Every customer takes the same channel in the shape their platform expects, so you are not asked to produce a variant per affiliate.

Each licensed customer is served from the two core sites nearest to them, with delivery from the 189 edges homed to those cores. Adding the twentieth affiliate is a provisioning change, not a project: no encoder shipped, no circuit ordered, no engineer travelling.

The cost of affiliate distribution is usually per partner, not per viewer: a box at their site, a circuit to reach it, a firewall conversation, then the same again for the next one. One feed into a shared headend removes that repetition, and the marginal cost of the next carriage deal stops being a capital question.

Rights are checked at order time, not after the fact. Every order records which channel, which customer, which territory and which hand-off, and an order outside what you have licensed is refused rather than fulfilled. You decide whether hotels, cruise operators and integrators may take the channel at all.

Reporting is per customer and per market: which platforms carry the channel, on which hand-off, with which add-ons, and what changed month to month. That is the material your distribution team needs at renewal, and it comes from the delivery system rather than from a spreadsheet.

Send us the channel, the territories you are cleared for and the hand-offs you will allow. We take the contribution feed, and the channel is orderable by our customers as soon as reception is confirmed, usually within 12 hours for an SRT or fibre hand-off.

If you would rather see the delivery chain before you commit a feed to it, take the free three-day trial on any channel already on the headend. It ships both encrypted SRT and adaptive HLS / DASH, so you can judge picture, latency and packaging on the same channel at once.
