In live broadcasting, anything can happen—unexpected delays, interruptions, or sudden changes in the broadcast schedule. When things don’t go as planned, having the flexibility to manage your live stream is crucial. That’s where the TimeShift technology in our COSMO|PLAYOUT service comes into play.
TimeShift allows you to implement a time delay in your live airs, giving you control over the stream. You can pause the broadcast, seamlessly replace part of it with alternative content, or insert ads without cutting off the event.
Delay time can be from a few seconds to several hours, depending on your needs.
TimeShift helps you manage disruptions and provides opportunities for better scheduling and monetization. This level of control ensures that your content remains top-notch and your viewers - engaged.
