Channel distribution for content owners, playout included

Hand us one feed of your channel. We capture it, protect it and deliver it to every operator, hotel group, ISP and platform you license, on the hand-off each of them already uses, from the core site closest to them, at a cost per customer that makes small affiliates worth signing.

A rights holder’s library, played out and packaged by us and carried as a channel in operators’ line-ups.

What a content owner gets

  • One contribution feed in, carriage with every customer you license
  • No encoder to ship and no circuit to order per affiliate
  • SRT, adaptive HLS / DASH or UDP multicast on site, per customer
  • Rights, territory and platform recorded per delivery, reported monthly
  • Cloud playout available if the channel does not exist yet

HOW WE CARRY YOUR CHANNEL

You send one contribution feed: SRT, RTMP, a satellite downlink we already receive, or a file-based playout we run for you. It lands at the core site nearest your origin, where it is normalised, transcoded into the ladder your customers need, encrypted, packaged and recorded. Everything downstream comes off that single ingest.

Each of your customers is then provisioned on the hand-off they already work with: encrypted SRT into an operator headend, adaptive HLS / DASH with MultiDRM for an OTT platform, UDP multicast on site for a hotel or a campus. You do not ship an encoder, order a circuit or negotiate a transport contract per affiliate, and none of them needs a direct relationship with your playout.

Because the delivery runs on our own footprint of six core sites and the edges that home to them, the marginal cost of adding a customer is small. That is the point: affiliates that were too small to justify a dedicated circuit become worth signing, and a customer in another region is a provisioning task rather than a project.

/03

RIGHTS, REPORTING AND YOUR CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

The commercial relationship stays yours. You tell us who is licensed, for which territory and on which platform type, and we deliver to exactly those customers. Where you prefer, you introduce us instead and we handle the technical onboarding while you keep the contract and the rights conversation.

Rights are recorded per delivery, not assumed. Operator redistribution, in-room hotel viewing, cruise and integrator resale are separate permissions, and provisioning enforces what you granted: DRM licences are issued against the territory, SRT endpoints are issued against the customer. Nothing reaches a customer you did not license.

Every month you get carriage per customer and per market, the hand-off each takes, add-ons in use and viewing where the hand-off exposes it. That is the material a rights renewal or a distribution report is built from, without reconstructing it from invoices.

/04

IF THE CHANNEL DOES NOT EXIST YET

For a library rather than a running channel, we can play it out: masters ingested at a core site, audio and framerate normalised, playlist and graphics applied, and a linear channel at the output that is indistinguishable from a broadcast feed on our headend. EPG is generated from your schedule and published in 12 languages rather than typed twice.

From playout the channel takes exactly the path described above, so the distribution model does not change: one feed in, every licensed customer served. Where a partner needs guide data only, the standalone EPG service starts at EUR 15 per channel per month.

/05

GET STARTED

Tell us where your feed comes from, which customers you already have and which ones you want to reach. We confirm the ingest, the hand-off per customer and the cost per delivery, and the first customer can be receiving the channel within days rather than after a distribution build.

To see the delivery chain before you commit a channel to it, take the free three-day trial on existing channels: it ships encrypted SRT and adaptive HLS / DASH together, which is the quickest way to judge what your customers would receive.
