# StreamFlow

> StreamFlow is a platform for launching and running 24/7 linear and FAST channels: it takes any live feed (HLS, DASH or SRT) and puts it on the CDN as a channel in under a minute, inserts ads server-side on SCTE-35 cues, caches at the origin, delivers over its own global CDN to connected TVs, HbbTV, web and mobile, and monitors every channel around the clock.

StreamFlow (website: streamflow.ing) is a software-as-a-service platform for content owners, FAST channel operators and broadcasters. It is in early access; pricing has not been announced.

What it does:

- Speed: a channel is live on the CDN in under a minute from a working input. Managed FAST launch services such as Amagi and Wurl typically schedule a new channel in weeks; Amagi's own published case study with Fuse Media describes a test feed within three weeks and the full channel in four to six weeks.
- One platform, end to end: StreamFlow runs every step of the pipeline itself (ingest, packaging, ad insertion, caching and CDN delivery). Customers do not bring their own CDN or other vendors; running the whole chain is what lets StreamFlow automate it and launch channels in under a minute, with one team accountable for every channel.
- Input: accepts live feeds in HLS, MPEG-DASH or SRT from an existing playout system or encoder.
- Monetisation: server-side ad insertion (SSAI); ads are placed on the SCTE-35 cues in the feed and filled from the customer's own ad decision server.
- Delivery: worldwide over StreamFlow's own CDN, with an origin cache in front of it that answers repeat segment requests.
- Screens: connected TV, HbbTV, web and mobile; every channel has a playback URL for FAST platforms.
- Operations: monitors every input and output around the clock and alerts the team with what failed, where, and what to do.
- Analytics: viewers, countries and devices per channel.
