How does television streaming distribution work
OTT (Over-The-Top)
OTT refers to the delivery of video, audio, and other media content over the internet, bypassing traditional distribution methods like cable or satellite television. It allows viewers to access a wide array of content directly through internet-connected devices such as smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, and computers. OTT services have gained immense popularity due to their convenience and flexibility, providing on-demand access to movies, TV shows, live events, and original programming.
These platforms leverage Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to efficiently distribute content. CDNs consist of a network of servers strategically placed in various locations. When a user requests content, the CDN delivers it from the server closest to the user, optimizing speed and reducing buffering issues.
CTV (Connected TV)
Connected TV refers to televisions or devices that connect to the internet, enabling users to stream content from various OTT platforms directly on their TVs. This includes smart TVs, streaming media players (like Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or Apple TV), gaming consoles, and other devices compatible with online content streaming.
SVOD (Subscription Video-On-Demand)
SVOD is a subscription-based model where users pay recurring fees, usually monthly or annually, to access a platform’s content library. Subscribers enjoy unlimited content streaming during their subscription period. Prominent SVOD services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ offer vast libraries of movies, TV series, documentaries, and original content. These platforms invest in exclusive content to attract and retain subscribers.
AVOD (Advertising Video-On-Demand)
AVOD platforms offer free content access but rely on advertisements for revenue. Users don’t pay subscription fees but may encounter ads during their viewing experience. YouTube is a prime example of an AVOD platform, providing a vast array of user-generated and professional content supported by advertisements. Some AVOD services offer premium tiers with ad-free experiences for subscription fees.
TVOD (Transactional Video-On-Demand)
TVOD allows users to pay for individual content pieces on a pay-per-view or pay-per-content basis. Viewers make one-time payments to access specific movies, TV shows, or live events for a limited time. iTunes, Google Play Movies, and Amazon Instant Video are popular TVOD services.
These distribution models cater to diverse viewer preferences, revenue streams, and content consumption habits. OTT platforms strategically leverage these models to accommodate different market segments, ensuring a varied and engaging streaming experience for audiences worldwide.
