What are projects on the 3Q platform?

In the 3Q video platform, a 'project' refers to one of two functional units: either content that is sent in real time (live stream) or providing content that viewers can access anytime (on demand).

Projects are the central element of a customer account. With a few exceptions, all functions of the account are linked to projects. Projects are managed via the project overview or the “Projects” menu item in the main menu.

Which browsers are supported?

What is a live stream?

With a live stream, you can broadcast audiovisual content or events 24/7.

You have the following additional options for live broadcasts:

- deliver two languages simultaneously in one livestream.
- use a video file as the source for a live stream with the VoD-to-Live module, enabling time-controlled playback.
- re-stream with the 3rd Party Publishing module
- deliver multiple live streams via one player with the Multi-Channel Live Streaming module
- offer live transcription with automated subtitling
- use multi-CDN (see below)

What is VOD?

VOD stands for video on demand. This type of project delivers audio and video content that is available online 24/7 for on-demand access. Here you can also manage content for podcasts, on-demand webcasts and VOD-to-live, as well as recordings of live streams created with the Live-to-VOD Recorder or the Timeshift-to-VOD function.

What is Multi-CDN?

With this module, you combine 3Q SDN with Akamai and/or ChinaCache CDNs. The resulting data transfer is evaluated according to time period, project and CDN provider. Please note that there are additional costs when using Multi-CDN. If the Multi-CDN module is not used, the data transfer takes place exclusively via the 3Q SDN.

What is Webcasting?

The webcasting module allows you to create landing pages for live and on-demand webcasts or webinars, enrich them with features and content, and manage event workflows in real time. The module is suitable for public and restricted online events, such as live business events, lectures, online seminars, congresses and conferences, as well as tutorials and townhall meetings. The module supports individual webcasts and webcast series (parallel webcasts) as well as multilingual webcasts.

What is Multi-channel Live Streaming?

With this module, you can combine multiple live stream projects in one player. The viewer can switch between different content or live streams in the player during the broadcast. Multi-channel live streaming enables, for example, live broadcasts in several languages, broadcasts from different camera perspectives or the streaming of parallel online events.

Can I include ads in my video stream?

Yes, you can. With the video advertising module, pre-, mid- and post-roll ads are placed in live streams and videos. To do this, you need AdTags or VAST tag URLs from VAST and vPAID-enabled ad servers or Google DFP (Google Ads).
