Initially designed for one of the world's largest broadcasters, TVU Channel, enables the user to schedule live and VOD programming from a simple web browser. The cloud-based solution can be used for playout via a traditional television channel, to an OTT channel, a pop-up channel or distribution directly to social media – all at the same time and all without any added infrastructure. The platform provides extensive support for ad insertion, including scheduled breaks, manual breaks and full SCTE passthrough. Direct support from CDN, social media and online video platforms (OVP) is available. TVU Channel also interfaces with BXF, Wide Orbit, and most third-party ad scheduling platforms. The platform can also serve as a backup channel for a broadcaster's existing on-premise channel to protect against any unexpected disruption. In addition to an over 200 percent increase in SaaS usage in 2021 versus 2020, TVU Networks reported IP network delivery solidified its place as the preferred content distribution method for the media and entertainment industry and a meteoric rise in video usage in 2021.
