Overview

LTN® Command’s Live Video Cloud is a highly scalable, cloud‑based console that centralizes live video acquisition, routing, and distribution. It empowers broadcasters and producers to handle unlimited live sources—from mobile devices, professional cameras, drones, encoders—and route them dynamically to any number of destinations, all via a browser-based interface. The service removes the need for expensive hardware and enables flexible, global workflows. It supports real-time monitoring, multiview playback, automated recording, and monetization through ad-enabled playout and scheduled programming.

Features and Capabilities

• Scalable Routing & Ingest:
  • Accepts virtually unlimited concurrent live feeds from a variety of sources (mobile, pro cameras, encoders, drones, WebRTC, SRT, RTMP).
  • Globally distributed ingest network minimizes latency and improves reliability.
  • Browser‑based multiview console supports up to 48 inputs per page, enabling high-capacity signal monitoring.
• Cloud-native Architecture:
  • Fully managed SaaS on major cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure).
  • Pay-as-you-go model eliminates hardware capex — users pay for what they use.
  • Fast provisioning: new workloads or productions can be spun up in minutes.
• Production & Routing Control:
  • Unified “Production” concept: define input sources and output destinations, control routing, and start/stop productions.
  • Support for signal transformation: transcoding, playlisting, format conversion, PID/audio remapping.
  • Automated recording: ingested live streams are recorded, enabling archive and asset management.
• Monitoring & Metrics:
  • Real-time dashboards: frame thumbnails, bitrate monitoring, inter‑arrival time (IAT), stream error detection, SCTE‑35 trigger monitoring, audio loudness, etc.
  • Historical signal data: look back at recent performance, monitor quality trends, identify issues.
• Distribution & Monetization:
  • Unlimited outputs: route live streams to multiple digital destinations (OTT, social, broadcast) simultaneously.
  • Integration with program‑management tools: mix live and archived content into scheduled linear channels.
  • Advertising & monetization: supports ad signaling and automated ad break insertion.
• Audience Engagement & Contribution:
  • Contributors (fans, remote talent) can send live video via WebRTC, mobiles, or browsers.
  • Interactive workflows: viewer mosaics, talk-back functions, integrating audience into live programming.
• Reliability & Support:
  • Fully managed service on LTN’s proprietary global IP network ensures high reliability.
  • 24/7 support and operations center (TOC) to manage signal health, failover, and monitoring.
