Creating linear experiences from VOD archives using Virtual Channels

By peaksignal_adminMay 5, 2023 No Comments

Partnering with a content owner, a service provider and a technology vendor, Peak Signal prepared a proof of concept to identify key concepts and considerations when creating streaming linear television experiences from a video-on-demand content archive.

THE CHALLENGE

All participants in the proof of concept wanted to further understand the commercial, technical and operational implications of using software defined Virtual Channel (rather than cloud playout) approaches to deliver FAST services.

THE SOLUTION
