Overview

LTN Schedule is a browser-based SaaS playout and channel-scheduling solution that combines live feeds and file-based (VOD) assets into full-time linear channels. It enables broadcasters and digital publishers to plan, edit, and run 24/7 channels, publish to multiple destinations, and monetize programming using automated ad-break events and API-connected signaling — all delivered as a low-hardware, rapidly deployable cloud service.

Features and Capabilities

• Content mixing & scheduling: Mix VOD and live streams into continuous linear channels; create rundowns, loop folders, trim assets, and sequence content for 24/7 playout.
• Publishing & multi-destination: Publish a single channel program to multiple targets for broader distribution and FAST/OTT channels.
• Monetization & ad triggers: Supports SCTE-35 in-band signaling plus API-connected ad-break events and metadata triggers for monetization with destination platforms and third-party ad systems.
• Browser-based SaaS delivery: Fully browser-based UI requiring no on-prem hardware, enabling rapid deployment, lower capex, and LTN-managed backend support.
• Asset management & ingest: Upload via SFTP, import metadata, connect to cloud libraries, and ingest multiple live sources and archived formats such as H.264 and HEVC.
• Publishing controls & monitoring: Centralized control and monitoring with transparency, health checks, and operational support for live channel delivery.
• Interoperability & ecosystem integration: Integrates with LTN Ecosystem services for unified workflows, versioning, and end-to-end channel operations.
• Scalability & cost model: Competitive per-target cost structure and ability to scale channels without proportional increases in staff or equipment.
• Technical specs & support artifacts: Datasheets and technical specifications detail supported codecs, SCTE profiles, output formats, and implementation options.
