Blackout
Restrict playback by viewer location or audience, on demand or on a schedule.
Blackout allows you to black out specific live linear programming for predefined sets of viewers (audiences). Instead of standard programming, blacked-out viewers see slate, a different live channel, on-demand content, or content sourced from a different Live Slicer. Use this capability to prevent the infringement of broadcasting rights.
The following scenarios illustrate common use cases:
-
Scenario #1:
A national broadcaster's live channel contains a live sporting event. However, a local broadcaster has superior rights to this event.
Solution: Use Blackout to limit the distribution of this sporting event to the local broadcaster.
-
Scenario #2:
A movie or TV show that has not been licensed for distribution over the Internet has been scheduled in a live channel.
Solution: Use Blackout to prevent the distribution of this restricted content over the Internet.
