DistroTV Studio Channel Builder

DistroTV Studio is the most cost-effective way to create streaming television FAST channels on your own AWS. Quickly & easily build HLS channels, add ad markers, schedule content, generate EPGs, and unlimited syndication with no additional cost. DistroTV Studio turns your video content into a live, monetizable streaming channel-enabling you to serve content across OTT, CTV, and traditional broadcast endpoints. Built by DistroScale, the creators of DistroTV (the world's largest independent FAST platform), DistroTV Studio removes the heavy lifting from launching and managing linear TV channels for connected television (CTV channels). You have the content - but transforming it into a 24/7 FAST channel is costly, complex, and time-consuming. DistroTV Studio eliminates those barriers with a self-service platform that runs entirely in your AWS account, empowering you to go live in hours, not weeks. The resulting output is immediately playable via HLS or SRT, making it ready for distribution to connected TV platforms like Roku, Fire TV, Samsung TV+, and LG Channels, or for direct ingest into CDNs, OTT apps, or broadcaster playout systems. Whether you're syndicating to a FAST aggregator, delivering to an owned-and-operated app, or handing off to a master control room via SRT, your stream is ready for global reach and platform compliance. Start by uploading MP4 files or connecting to a live stream (HLS, RTMP, SRT). The platform automatically transcodes your content into adaptive bitrate HLS and ad markers for seamless server-side ad insertion (SSAI) compatibility. Scheduling your channel is simple - no code required. Just upload a simple configuration file to schedule and generate a full 24/7 lineup, complete with EPG metadata. Within minutes, your stream is live. You get instant playback via HLS and ready-to-distribute content through your own S3 bucket. Whether you're syndicating through CloudFront or another CDN, your stream is built for global reach - fully optimized with flexible quality settings, customizable ad filler logic, and playback configuration options. The more content you schedule, the more value you unlock. Your metadata, scheduling, and custom ad workflows are retained in your AWS infrastructure, giving you complete ownership and scalability over time. Through our built-in API, you can monitor channel status, job logs, and processing health - building confidence with every deployment. DistroTV Studio is cost-efficient by design. You only pay for the AWS services you use, with no vendor restrictions or hidden fees. Whether you're a media startup, a digital publisher, or a global broadcaster, DistroTV Studio gives you the speed, flexibility, and control to launch and scale FAST channels for CTV on your terms. DistroTV Studio supports a wide range of CTV, OTT, and linear TV use cases - from news and sports to kids and multicultural content. Whether you're launching a new OTT property, migrating broadcast infrastructure to the cloud, or expanding your CTV footprint, DistroTV Studio provides a turnkey channel-in-a-box solution that adapts to your needs and scales with your ambitions.
