Features
Accept live contribution streams via RTMP into Azure Media Services live events for cloud-based origination and delivery.
Provision, start, activate, stop, finalise, and cancel live events with full state-aware workflow orchestration across every stream lifecycle transition.
Configurable archive window length enables time-shifted viewing and DVR replay, allowing viewers to rewind live content or catch up from the start.
Streaming locators generate HLS and DASH playback manifests through Azure Media Services streaming endpoints for broad device compatibility.
Playback URLs are constructed using a configurable CDN domain fronting Azure Media Services streaming endpoints for scalable global stream delivery.
Automatic post-stream transcoding converts live recordings to video-on-demand assets, with job progress tracked from queued through to completion.
Apply time-based asset filters to define trimmed presentation windows on recorded assets for highlight creation and clip distribution.
Retrieve live event status, ingest endpoint health, and resource state for operational visibility and real-time NOC dashboard integration.
