WHY DIRECT

Your catalog is an asset - distribute it directly

Media and entertainment streaming is the direct-to-consumer distribution of film, TV and original catalogs - studios and networks reaching audiences through their own branded apps and FAST channels, the model behind services like Curiosity Stream, instead of only licensing to others.

Monetize the whole library

Deep catalogs earn across models at once - subscriptions for fans, ads for reach, transactions for new releases, and FAST for the long tail that would otherwise sit idle.

Many brands, one backbone

Run multiple channels or labels as distinct branded apps while managing them from a single platform, instead of standing up separate infrastructure for each.

FAST is a distribution channel

Pushing a 24/7 channel to Roku, Samsung TV Plus and LG Channels turns your archive into always-on reach and ad revenue with no new production.

KEY FEATURES

Features media operators rely on

Your brand on the biggest screen

Full white-label design - your name, logo, color palette, and content organization. Viewers see a polished experience that reflects your brand, not a generic template.

24/7 linear and FAST channels

Schedule your library into a continuous linear stream like a traditional TV channel. The scheduling engine and EPG run it automatically, around the clock.

SVOD, AVOD, and TVOD - your way

Live events, streamed everywhere

Broadcast live to every screen using any RTMP-compatible encoder. Multi-CDN delivery keeps it smooth for a small class or a stadium crowd.

One CMS, every platform

Manage VOD, live, and linear schedules from one unified dashboard. Update metadata, artwork, and shelves once and publish across all your apps instantly.

Analytics that drive decisions

MONETIZATION

Monetize the full catalog

SVOD subscriptions

A recurring monthly or annual fee for full access, billed natively through Roku Pay, Apple and Google in-app purchase, or Stripe on web. Best for a loyal audience and predictable revenue.

AVOD (ad-supported)

Free to viewers; you earn from pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Server-side ad insertion delivers smooth, blocker-resistant breaks. Best for reach and for FAST channels.

TVOD / pay-per-view

Viewers pay per title to rent or buy. Ideal for film releases, one-off live events, and premium specials sitting beside a free or subscription tier.
