Overview

Use a playlist to mix clips from multiple origins into a single stream, and deliver to all devices with no discontinuity. Add a promo, output conditioned manifests, and media segments and prepare your VOD content for ad insertion. Unified Remix takes an innovative approach by performing content stitching upstream from the origin server. Other use cases include virtual live streams, stream personalization, pre-rolls, mid-rolls, post-rolls, and nPVR. And many other interesting cases are in store. Think of Unified Remix as a just-in-time video-editing suite. Streams can be personalized in any arrangement: a stream for each viewer; streams to groups of viewers (according to geolocation or subscriptions, for example); or even a single stream for all viewers.

How it works

As a playlist-resolving software engine, Unified Remix uses a playlist on the server side, removing all decision logic from the player. Unified Remix bases the playlist on a general ruleset triggered by a CMS, a recommendation system, or other business rules. Then Unified Remix transforms the remixed MP4 playlist into input for Unified Origin and Unified Packager, both of which can deliver all playout formats. The result: a unified approach to delivering to all devices from a single playlist.
