Scissor
Scissor allows you to cut your live stream based on a predefined or ad-hoc programme, mixed from live stream inputs and VOD content for ad-insertion. It can be used as a dynamic alternative to Wowza’s built-in SMIL file playlists, because it allows you to dynamically define and start new playlists and make modifications to it while on air. The RESTful API opens up the possibility to control your content from external systems.
Features
- Create and manage Wowza playlists on the fly via REST API. Add-remove items, skip to next items while the playlist is on air
- REST API for integration with arbitrary external systems
- Dynamically switch between live sources and VOD content
- Schedule advertisements in a live stream
- Supports composing multiple output streams, even creating new output streams on demand
- Robust stream reconnection mechanism
