How it works
A unified platform shares identity, metadata and reporting across these steps, so teams launch faster and operate without stitching together separate tools.
Content is uploaded or ingested live, encoded into adaptive renditions, protected, and delivered across web, mobile and TV through a CDN, while billing, analytics and a CMS tie the experience together.
How LinqTV helps
LinqTV One, Live, Flex, Playout and the Player SDK cover the full streaming lifecycle, from ingest and encoding to apps, billing and analytics, on one platform.
Because every module shares identity, billing, metadata and analytics, you avoid brittle point-to-point integrations and ship new features faster.
