Products
The future of TV-as-a-Service is not a single vendor solution - it is a collaborative ecosystem. Our products break down the complex TV stack into distinct, interoperable components that operators can select, integrate, and scale independently.
Business Product Portfolio
Ingest
Simplifying the complexity of content acquisition and preparation.
The fully managed, cloud-based headend, handling everything from channel ingest and satellite/fibre signal acquisition to high-volume encoding, transcoding, packaging (HLS, DASH), and necessary DRM application for both live and video-on-demand assets. This is delivered as an elastic, carrier-grade SaaS.
Externalizing the headend function, so operators eliminate a frequent and massive, upfront CapEx burden associated with hardware acquisition and maintenance. This dramatically simplifies operational complexity across multiple regional or linguistic markets, enabling channel lineup adjustments or new market entries within days instead of months. For new revenue streams, such as launching dozens of thematic FAST channels, Ingest provides instant, scalable signal preparation and cloud-based content preparation without any on-premise hardware commitment, significantly reducing time-to-revenue. Furthermore, its unified management ensures consistent content quality and compliance across all distribution points.
Stream
Our high-performance delivery and playback layer, built on a robust, developer-friendly API structure.
Handling adaptive-bitrate streaming protocols, multi-device playback (via flexible SDKs for all major platforms), detailed playback telemetry for Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring, and, crucially, high-fidelity server-side ad insertion (SSAI).
Also a direct driver of monetization and quality-of-experience. With the industry rapidly moving towards hybrid and ad-supported tiers, the embedded, pre-integrated SSAI capabilities allow operators to generate new, high-value ad revenue through targeted, seamless ad experiences across linear and VOD content. Built as an API platform, Stream enables operators to connect their own custom front-ends, player logic, or third-party analytics tools while benefiting from Zattoo’s proven, scalable cloud delivery infrastructure, which handles millions of simultaneous streams daily. This allows for total control over the consumer-facing user experience (UX) and offloading the heavy lifting of global streaming delivery.
Orchestrate
The Media Integration platform - our intelligence layer and heart of the composable architecture.
Managing the core product logic and business logic, including product catalog, user entitlements and authentication, metadata aggregation, advanced search/discovery tools, content management, UX / UI management, personalization logic, and seamless BSS/OSS integration. It provides a unified view and management layer across content, subscribers, and commercial models.
Enables operators to decouple business logic and underlying technical infrastructure. It facilitates non-disruptive, phased migration from a legacy system to a cloud-native model, ensuring commercial continuity while technology transformation proceeds step-by-step. Zattoo Orchestrate uniquely positions the product to handle complex hybrid environments, integrating seamlessly with existing operator infrastructure while providing a modern, API-first foundation for future feature rollouts, including options like Frontend API, Frontend SDK and white label-apps. A single control centre to manage the complexity of a multi-platform, multi-vendor service - and optimize its commercial leverage.
End2End
Our proven, fully managed, white-label TV platform.
A pre-integrated, comprehensive offering with all functionalities of our modular components, from content ingest and processing through fully-featured front-end applications.
For new market entrants, regional ISPs, or operators seeking fastest time-to-market with minimal operational risk. The simplest path to launching a full-featured, branded TV service. Built on the same flexible, modern architecture as our modular suite, guaranteeing that even full white-label deployment can benefit from its rapid innovation and component upgrades: simplicity without sacrificing future flexibility.
