Broadcasters need the same content live on satellite, OTT, and FAST within the same broadcast window — not distributed to each platform in a separate pass. This video explains how one ingested source feed becomes three technically different outputs: a satellite transport stream, adaptive bitrate HLS/DASH for OTT, and an ad-ready version for FAST channel guides.
We walk through the three-stage pipeline — ingest over SRT, RIST, or MPEG-TS; repackaging per platform; and per-platform ad decisioning — plus the three real limits broadcasters run into: latency differences, per-platform rights clearance, and the operational overhead of running satellite, OTT, and FAST through separate, disconnected vendors.
FAST channel revenue in the US alone is projected to reach roughly $12 billion by 2027 according to research firm TBI, which is why simultaneous distribution has become a monetization strategy rather than a reach exercise.
iKOMG's content aggregation and distribution service pulls content in via global fiber and satellite teleport connectivity, repackages it to SRT, RIST, MPEG-TS, HLS, and DASH, and pushes it to satellite, OTT, and FAST from a single pipeline — paired with CTV ad marketplace tooling that connects inventory to multiple demand and supply sources.
