Turn your archive into a 24/7 auto-broadcast FAST channel — live in two weeks, no staff monitoring required
Master files never move, never touch the cloud. An on-prem playout engine handles broadcast, EPG push, and SSAI ad insertion fully automatically — nobody has to watch the playout server around the clock, worrying that a dropped connection means dead air.
Three on-prem automation engines that keep your channel running without staff monitoring
On-prem playout engine
No more assigning someone to watch the playout server 24/7, worried a dropped connection means dead air. Scheduling logic and the broadcast stream both run automatically on the customer's own infrastructure, with no relay through Kaster's cloud — even if the link to the cloud drops, local playout keeps running, so the channel never goes dark and revenue never stops.
Automated EPG push
No more manually filling out spreadsheets to cross-check schedules. The channel's program guide syncs automatically to third-party FAST TV platforms, so new programming goes live faster with zero staff monitoring.
SSAI ad insertion
Server-Side Ad Insertion splices ads seamlessly into the content stream and bypasses client-side ad blockers, so every ad impression can actually be billed and turned into real revenue — instead of letting your library sit idle and unmonetized.
From archive audit to live broadcast — four stages, typically done in two weeks
Archive audit & extraction
The Edge Agent scans your on-prem master files and extracts only 1-5% as derivatives (summaries, keyframes, embeddings) for cloud analysis — the original files never move.
Scheduling rules & EPG build
Set broadcast time slots and program rotation logic, then structure the schedule into EPG metadata that third-party platforms can read.
SSAI ad setup & go-live
Ad-break insertion logic is tested and finalized, the channel goes live, and the EPG syncs out to every connected distribution partner.
Fully automated, no staff monitoring required
24/7 auto-broadcast, automated ad insertion, and automatic EPG updates — local playout keeps running through connectivity drops, with manual intervention needed only for actual anomalies.
"From two weeks" is a typical rollout timeline; actual timing varies with archive size and the customer's bandwidth, and is not a fixed guaranteed number of days.
Go live once, sync automatically to leading global FAST TV platforms
Once scheduling is set up, the same program guide can be exported directly to Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Pluto TV, and Roku — no need to integrate with each one separately.
