TV · LINEAR AND CATCH-UP

CDN for TV and Online Broadcasters

Linear channels, simulcast and catch-up, delivered from the edge with an LL-HLS path in the 2-4 second range where standard HLS leaves viewers 20-40 seconds behind the action.

From $5/TB down to $2.50/TB, so 100 TB is about $415 a month · 14-day testing period on real traffic · $25 monthly minimum waived · Engineer reply within 3 business hours

What 100 TB of broadcast traffic costs

Progressive tiers work like tax brackets: each rate applies only to the traffic inside its range. Requests, HTTPS, custom domains and origin shield are included, and the rate is the same in Europe, Asia and America.

TIER 01

First 5 TB

$5.00 per TB

TIER 02

5 to 25 TB

$4.50 per TB

TIER 03

25 to 100 TB

$4.00 per TB

100 TB a month works out at $415

Each tier is billed only on the traffic inside it, so the tiers add up rather than replace each other. 25 TB is about $115, 500 TB is about $1,815, and above 500 TB a month we quote it for you.

Broadcast quality, delivered as HLS

A studio clip packaged into an HLS ladder of four renditions with 4 s segments and served from the nearest PoP. The same path carries your channels: your encoder produces the ladder, we deliver every segment.

Your ladder, our edge

Upload or point us at your packager output. We deliver what your encoder produced, no re-encode in between.

Cached once per region

The first viewer pulls a segment from Cloud Storage; every next viewer in that region gets it from the edge, and your origin stays idle.

Try it in your own player

Copy the manifest URL below into VLC, Safari or any HLS player. Same files, same CDN, no sign-up.

Four things a broadcast schedule does to a CDN

A channel is not a file library. What changes is how long a manifest stays valid and how fast the audience arrives.

24/7 linear channels

A channel that never stops is a manifest that never stops changing. Live manifests run on near-zero TTL while segments are cached as immutable, so freshness and cache hit stop fighting each other.

Simulcast across regions

One encode, many regions. The same segments are served from the closest node, so going international does not mean re-architecting the delivery path.

Catch-up and archive

Yesterday's broadcast becomes a VOD catalogue overnight. Stable manifests get longer TTLs, and production VOD workloads sustain 97%+ segment cache hit.

Breaking news and peak events

Concurrency can triple inside a minute when a story breaks. Request coalescing and origin shield absorb it without a capacity request or a plan change.

How chunks reach the viewer

HLS and DASH split a channel into a manifest and segments, and the two need opposite cache rules. We apply them per zone so playback stays steady while the playlist stays fresh.

Live channels Pre-encoded HLS and DASH with an LL-HLS path in the 2-4 second range, where standard HLS leaves viewers 20-40 seconds behind the action.

Catch-up and VOD Once a broadcast lands in the archive it is delivered like any catalogue: 97%+ segment cache hit sustained on production VOD workloads.

Capacity that absorbs the peak A breaking story arrives as one spike. Request coalescing and origin shield take it without manual scaling on your side.

Delivery you can lock down Signed URLs with an expiry, hotlink protection, IP and geo rules per zone, and DRM-encrypted segments delivered and cached encrypted.

Simple setup: just bring your media server

To get started, all you need is your own media server or packager. We are a delivery layer, not a processing layer: we do not transcode, re-package or generate manifests, and that is exactly why nothing we do can break your playout chain.

Supported media servers: Wowza Streaming Engine, NGINX RTMP, FFmpeg and others that produce HLS or DASH output.
Flexible configuration: point the zone at your packager’s output and put the CDN hostname in your player config. Test on a temporary hostname before switching DNS.

Full API Support

BlazingCDN’s Streaming CDN includes an extensive API that gives you full control over your CDN configuration, allowing for automation, monitoring, and customization of your streaming delivery.

Four write-ups from the video side

Full write-ups in our knowledge base: what was breaking, what we changed, what the numbers did afterwards. The first two sit closest to broadcast; the other two show the same delivery layer under a different load.

OTT provider, multi-region

A multi-region OTT service where playback quality drifted by time zone. In-CDN replication put the same library in every region, so a viewer in Asia stopped getting a worse channel than a viewer in Europe.

Live sports streaming

Concurrency triples at kickoff and every buffering second costs an ad break. The case covers how the edge absorbed the spike and what it did to ad delivery during the monetised moments.

Read the case →

Short-video platform

Millions of small clips, and the first second of each one decided whether the viewer stayed. The write-up covers what happened to startup delay once files were served from inside the CDN.

E-learning platform

Paid courses were being shared outside the paywall. Signed URLs, IP binding and referer checks closed the leak without changing the player or the checkout.

GETTING STARTED

Move without a risky migration

Nothing here asks you to move the whole schedule first and find out during a live window.

Run a 14-day testing period

14 days on real production traffic at $5/TB, with the $25 monthly minimum waived. Point a CNAME on one channel, let the cache fill through a full broadcast day, compare the numbers.

Keep your current CDN running

Put us behind your DNS as a second provider. Failover takes about 60 seconds, and viewers see nothing while you compare the two on the same schedule.

Start with one region or one channel

Start with one channel or one region: a catch-up feed, a secondary channel, or the archive before the live feed. The zone is configured around whatever you send it.

An engineer, not a ticket queue

Send your packager output, channel count and expected peak concurrency, and our team configures the zone around them. An engineer replies within 3 business hours.
