Live broadcasts and playouts are critical requirements for media companies to satisfy their audiences. More customers are cutting cords and watching live channels on the web, mobile, tablets, and smart TVs. As a result, media companies are pressured to bring additional channels to market and scale up their delivery capabilities.
