What is linear broadcast?

 

Simply put, linear TV is a traditional television service that delivers content via satellite or cable. This is different from OTT. Linear means that the content is shown at a fixed time and everyone can watch it simultaneously.

The content broadcast via linear TV is usually pre-recorded and hosted on a video server. There is a special software to schedule the time slots for each content and advertisement.

The process of streaming a live event via linear TV is a little different. There is a control center that receives the raw video footage. There, the production team edits the footage in almost real-time and then it is sent to viewers over the internet via cable networks, satellite or FAST (free ad-supported streaming television).
