Overview
Simplify your workflow with an easy-to-integrate API-based solution. Mix existing VOD content with live streams, along with seamless transitions. Customize and localize your content, and monetize your stream with ads.
No need for a broadcast delivery chain to turn your VOD assets into a live stream.
HOW IT WORKS Beforehand, you'll need a library of ready-to-stream VOD content; a live stream (if you want to mix VOD with live); playlists; and an understanding of how an API connects with software, so you can integrate it into new or existing streaming workflows. To start your channel, deliver a playlist (VOD, live, or a mix of both) to the API. Unified Virtual Channel will scan, sync, and stitch your content.
To transition to another playlist seamlessly, just deliver a new playlist.
That's it!
Highlights
- With an easy-to-use, API-driven solution, you can create mixed, virtual linear streams from pre-encoded VOD and Live content. Instead of taking days or weeks to launch, channels can be watchable in minutes or hours
- Personalize channels by basing content on viewing histories, interests, demographics, and more. Target ads, teasers, trailers, and shows that resonate with specific audiences.
- Stay relevant by creating channels that draw a crowd, then keep them coming back for more. Offer your viewers a dynamic viewing experience, and the best streaming quality, to boot.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
