Cloud-Managed Broadcast Service

Amagi’s cloud-managed broadcast solutions enable broadcast and cable TV networks, content owners and OTT platforms to leverage a public cloud infrastructure to prepare, store and archive, schedule, playout, deliver, monitor and monetise library, live and VOD content. It offers clients the option of choosing between cloud or edge playout based on their unique requirements.

The highlight of the managed service is its simplicity, transparency, high degree of automation and a tech stack powered by public cloud infrastructure such as AWS and Google Cloud, which substantially reduces cost of broadcast operations in comparison to traditional, manual-intensive managed services prevalent in the industry.

Amagi CLOUDPORT - Cloud-Based Playout Platform

A cloud-based platform for multichannel playout of live linear feeds. Using Amagi CLOUDPORT, broadcasters can support the entire playout workflow from channel branding and graphics to subtitling, traffic and scheduling, compliance recording, quality control, multichannel monitoring and more. In addition to delivering content to operator head-ends and teleports for further distribution, Amagi CLOUDPORT also offers automated transcoding and delivery to different vMVPD and Free Ad Supported Streaming TV platforms, enabling broadcasters to address the growing consumer demand for multiscreen viewing.

The comprehensive scheduling feature in Amagi CLOUDPORT creates frame-accurate presentation schedules from scratch, stitching together programming content, commercials, static and dynamic graphics, squeeze backs, event triggers and live event integrations. Full-screen graphics and 4K UHD support ensures highquality viewing experience.

Amagi THUNDERSTORM OTT Ad Detection and Serverside Ad Insertion Platform

Enables TV networks to dynamically insert ads on the server-side simplifying delivery of personalised, targeted ads on live and linear OTT feeds.

With the ability to perform instant, server-side ad insertion, TV networks now have an effective approach to OTT ad insertion compared with the traditional method of inserting mid-roll ads on the client side. The platform allows broadcasters to insert multiple types of ad formats, including bugs, L-bands and linear video for ultimate flexibility. Since ads are stitched at the server level, Amagi THUNDERSTORM eliminates the need to create devicedriven OTT ad streams making ads compatible across various screens. In case of OTT aggregators/vMVPD platforms where they may not receive ad triggers in incoming broadcast feeds, Amagi THUNDERSTORM, using machine learning techniques, can automatically detect ads and replace them with targeted ads.

Amagi’s analytics tool also offers comprehensive insights on viewership metrics, enabling content owners and streaming platforms to drive revenue targets based on content monetisation.

Amagi LIVE Orchestration

A cloud-based live orchestration platform that allows content owners to spin up channels in minutes or orchestrate broadcast grade live events on the go. It can be operated remotely from a simple web dashboard. It has the ability to orchestrate multiple live feeds from a single ganged control, ingest feeds from multiple sources and formats (RTP, RTMP, HLS, Zixi and more), and insert a wide range of advanced graphics (TGA/MOV, AEP files, PIP, Credit Squeeze, HTML and more). Amagi LIVE provides broadcast grade quality at very low latency levels, delivering outstanding live experience to viewers.

Amagi PLANNER Scheduling Platform

A lightweight alternative to complex broadcast scheduling systems, making planning and scheduling of content to streaming TV easy and efficient.

It offers a simple three-step process to schedulers – ingesting and displaying metadata, creating programme schedules (EPG) and patterns and exporting EPG to Amagi CLOUDPORT for playout.

Amagi PLANNER’s unique features - the search, sort and filter functionality, option to create and organise mini-playlist, custom or thematic scheduling and more – makes it a simple and intuitive platform for scheduling linear channels.
