One to Many Distribution
Livelink’s distribution engine is built around the principle that a single source feed should be deliverable to any number of downstream destinations simultaneously, reliably, and without constraint on protocol or transport method.
Operators can define distribution plans that fan out from a single ingest point to multiple endpoints, each with its own protocol configuration. Whether destinations require SRT, Zixi, RTMP, HLS, RIST, or UDP-based transport, Livelink handles the protocol translation and output management centrally, removing the need for dedicated per-destination hardware or manual routing intervention.
For productions requiring source variants such as different bitrate profiles, codec configurations, or resolution tiers for different distribution partners, Livelink allows operators to associate discrete variants with specific destinations within a single distribution plan. This ensures that each endpoint receives the appropriate signal specification without duplicating upstream infrastructure or introducing additional processing stages.

Resilience
Resilience is built into the distribution architecture at the path level. Backup sources and failover paths can be defined per destination, with automatic switchover logic that activates in response to signal loss or degraded stream health maintaining output continuity without requiring manual intervention from the operations team.
For large-scale deployments managing high destination counts such as OTT platform delivery, multi-CDN distribution, or international syndication workflows Livelink’s distribution layer scales horizontally, maintaining consistent output performance regardless of the number of active endpoints.
Visibility Across Every Output
Distribution at scale demands more than reliable delivery, it requires complete operational visibility. Livelink’s monitoring layer provides real-time status reporting across all active destination outputs, giving engineers an immediate overview of stream health, connection state, and output integrity from a single interface.
Per-destination telemetry surfaces key transport metrics including bitrate, packet loss, latency, and connection uptime allowing operations teams to identify and respond to degraded paths before they impact delivery.
Configurable alerting ensures that the right people are notified automatically when stream health falls outside defined thresholds, reducing reliance on continuous manual monitoring during live events.
Historical reporting provides a post-event audit trail across all distribution outputs, supporting SLA verification, incident review, and capacity planning for future distribution plans.
