Understanding Digital Linear TV, HLS Streams, and FAST TV Streams

Digital Linear TV
Digital Linear TV mimics traditional broadcast television by streaming scheduled content continuously. Viewers can tune in at any time and join the stream already in progress, making it ideal for engaging audiences with familiar TV-style experiences.
HLS Streams
HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) streams are adaptive, high-quality video streams that ensure smooth playback on various devices. These streams are perfect for delivering scheduled or on-demand content to your own website, app, or third-party integrations.
FAST TV Streams
Free Ad-Supported Television (FAST) streams provide a way to distribute curated, looped content to a global audience at no cost to viewers. These streams generate revenue through ads, making them an excellent strategy for reaching wider audiences and monetizing VOD libraries.
