LIVE

When you go live on air, you go live on streaming.

Your streaming channels follow your broadcast. They go live, take their breaks and return to schedule when you do.

The problem

Master control adjusts when coverage runs long, but streaming channels run outside it. Switching them, and resetting breaks and start times by hand, isn't feasible for a small team.

What you get

  • Live from your signal.

    ViewNexa reads the SCTE-35 cues master control already places in your feed and switches your streaming channels at the same moments, with nothing switched by hand on ViewNexa's side.

  • Three ways to go live.

    From the cues in your feed, at a scheduled time, or with a break-in from the CMS.

  • Recurring live slots.

    Schedule a live program to air in the same slot every day or week, like a daily newscast.

  • Stays with the story.

    The channel stays live as long as coverage runs, and the schedule lengthens to fit.

  • Back to schedule on its own.

    When the feed ends, the channel returns to programming, including after a manual break-in.

  • Breaks during coverage.

    Ad breaks run on your cues and are placed for you during long coverage.

  • Backup on its own.

    If a feed fails, the channel switches to backup programming.

  • Replays with cues in place.

    Live programs replay later in the schedule with their cues and ad breaks in place.

  • Cues you control.

    Place missing cues yourself with the scheduler's cue tool.

Three ways to go live

  • From your signal

    Your broadcast's SCTE-35 cues start and end live coverage.

  • On a schedule

    Set a time, once or on a repeating slot.

  • From the CMS

    A producer breaks in, and the channel returns to schedule on its own when the feed ends.
