Can another channel’s content be scheduled on a TV channel?
Yes. Another channel can be
scheduled as part of the
programming calendar, making it useful for partner broadcasts,
syndicated content, network
programming, and multi-source channel workflows.
How are TV Channels billed?
TV Channels are included within Cloud Video plans based on the number of channels, bandwidth, and
storage included in the selected plan. Monthly plans can be upgraded as
channel requirements grow.
Can live broadcasts be recorded and scheduled later?
Yes. Live broadcasts can be
recorded automatically, giving teams content that can be used for replays, video on demand, highlight
programming, reruns, or future scheduled content.
What happens if scheduled content runs out?
The scheduling system can keep a channel active with a configured fallback video, or by using an automatic selection event that chooses suitable conten from tagged media. This helps the channel continue running with relevant programming, even when there is no live encoder input.
Can Automatic Playout build a schedule automatically?
Yes. Tag-based rules can automatically select and play content from the
media library, similar to a video AutoDJ workflow for scheduled TV channels.
Can viewers see what’s coming up on the channel?
Yes. A channel can display upcoming programming so viewers can see what is scheduled and return for live events, replays, and regular shows. The embeddable content guide can be placed on a website so viewers can see what is playing now and what is coming up next.
Can content be scheduled for publishing as well as playout?
Yes. Scheduled publishing can help prepare content for the right destination at the right time,
supporting workflows where
broadcasts, recordings, replays, VOD, and channel content need to become available to viewers in a
planned way.
Is a server needed to run TV Channels?
No. Cloud Video is hosted as a managed platform, so channels can be created, scheduled, published, and delivered through CDN powered infrastructure without managing a server.
What is Linear Live Video Streaming?

How is Linear Live different from VOD?
Linear Live plays content according to a schedule, while VOD lets viewers choose individual videos to watch on demand. Broadcasters can use both
by scheduling content for the channel and also making selected recordings available on demand
Can User Generated Content be scheduled for playout?
Yes. Uploaded User Generated Content can be tagged, organised, scheduled, and used in automatic playout
workflows so it becomes part of a 24x7 video channel.
