FAQ

Questions teams ask about streaming

  • Which formats and DRM systems do you support?

    Every upload is transcoded into HEVC and H.264 ladders encoded for each title, up to 4K Ultra HD, and packaged as HLS, DASH and CMAF with adaptive bitrate. Protected streams play under Widevine, FairPlay and PlayReady, with a playback token for each viewer and the license windows you set.

    See the pipeline
  • Do you support HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?

    Yes. Titles play in 4K with HDR10 and Dolby Vision, and sound comes in Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus or AAC stereo, with multiple audio tracks and audio description. Each device plays the best format it supports.

  • Which devices and platforms can our viewers use?

    Mobile on iOS and Android, TV on Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS, and the web in every modern browser. We provide player SDKs for iOS, Android, web and TV, and viewers can cast with Chromecast and AirPlay.

  • Can we run a landscape catalog and a vertical feed on one platform?

    Yes. A TV-first landscape catalog for films, series and documentaries and a mobile-first vertical series feed run on the same pipeline, the same backoffice and one viewer identity. Run one shape or both.

    See the two shapes
  • Can viewers download titles and watch offline?

    Yes. Viewers download a title in your app and watch it offline under a DRM license that expires after 1 to 30 days, the window you choose.

  • How does a partner preview a cut before release?

    Through the screening room. You share a link with partners, only the e-mail addresses on its allow-list can open it with a one-time code, and it expires on the date you set. You can add a note to each link.

  • Do you offer live streaming?

    Live streaming is in development. Linear channels and live events will run on the same packaging, protection and player as your catalog, so a live title sits next to your films and series. Tell us on the call what you plan to stream live, and we plan it into your launch.

    See the pipeline
  • How does pricing work?

    Like the rest of the platform: one monthly price per app, for the capabilities you switch on. We quote it on a call once we know your catalog, your shapes and your traffic, and send it in writing. We onboard you and run the streaming platform for you.
