Introducing the new and improved version of FastChannel, featuring an advanced planning layer designed to optimize linear TV operations, FAST channels, and continuous streaming.
Content and Grid Management
The system allows you to build professional grids using various source types with total flexibility:
- Media (VOD Files): Full control over duration and custom cue point management.
- Live (Live Signals): Seamless integration of live feeds with the option to inherit or ignore source SCTE-35 markers for flexible monetization.
- Shows and Episodes: Hierarchically organized content that enables structured, reusable programming across the entire grid.
Technical Highlights
- Long-Term Planning: Manage and visualize your programming for months or even an entire year in advance.
- Modular Programming: Utilize dynamic blocks and intelligent slots for Bumpers, Intros, and Outros that self-populate during planning, aligning with real-world operational workflows.
- Dynamic Episodes: The system automatically populates the grid by selecting available episodes from a show, respecting the defined order and durations.
- Smart Continuity (Linking): Eliminate dead air with the Linking feature; if a piece of content runs long, the system automatically shifts the rest of the schedule.
- Monetization: Insert Ad Breaks based on time, percentage, or original markers, optimized via DAI (Dynamic Ad Insertion) technology to bypass ad blockers.
Everything You Need in One Place
- Operational Efficiency: Reduce manual labor by up to 80% thanks to dynamic components and bulk planning tools.
- Multi-Device: Your channel will look perfect on any device and connection, from smartphones to Smart TVs.
- Scalability: The Mediastream Platform is designed to handle high data volumes and multiple simultaneous channels without bottlenecking.
- Real-Time Data: Make decisions based on actual audience behavior with integrated analytics.
