Media, CMS & OTT

Channel operational areas & how the products interact

Flows across live, media, traffic, playout, CMS and OTT outputs inside the operational areas of a TV channel with broadcast and streaming distribution — plus the cross-cutting monitoring, compliance and continuity (DR) operations. TransioX prepares the live feed, Atlas records clips from TransioX and external contributions, Pulse controls publishing and Webapp delivers the end-user experience.
