Mix and match any content

This application allows you to use any kind of source to build your channel: it can be a mix of a pre-existing Linear feed, an event, a Video-on-Demand, a Slate, an ad or any kind of video.

Simplify playout

You will not need to re-create an entire chain of encoding and packaging to launch a new channel. The system pulls manifest files or pre-packaged/pre-encrypted content and orchestrates them in time to create your schedule.

Create an output per viewer

Using our advanced API, you can create channels on the fly based on single audiences you have on your platform. You can even go deeper and create individual channels based on tastes, moods and recommendations originating from a curation engine.

Advanced analytics

Powerful analytics and a customizable dashboard give you detailed insight on what content has been popular and how your audience has been engaged.
