• Deploy anywhere, bare metal on premises, containerized, or in the cloud

How it works

Use a playlist to specify the content you want to stitch together. This playlist is processed by Unified Remix, which outputs a remixed MP4 from which Origin (just-in-time) or Packager (static) can generate a seamless stream.
