Workflow

From library to linear channel in a clear sequence.

FAST operations involve programming, engineering, monetization, and distribution. ByteLive keeps those workstreams tied to a single channel timeline.

1

Ingest

Register assets, metadata, artwork, duration, and prepared files.

2

Schedule

Build the linear grid with program slots, promos, fillers, and ad breaks.

3

Validate duration, thumbnails, preview frames, and playout readiness.

4

Playout

Run the channel timeline and output multi-bitrate HLS.

5

Distribute

Serve through origin, CDN, YouTube Live, partners, apps, or web players.

6

Monitor

Track segment freshness, process health, and errors during channel runtime.
