In the 3Q video platform, the term “project” refers to the two functional units with which you either send content in real time (live stream) or provide content that can be retrieved at any time when needed (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.

The latest Internet browsers are supported.

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 in a live stream
- use a video file as a source for a live stream - with the Vod-to-Live module and play it out in a time-controlled manner
- Re-streaming is possible with the 3rd Party Publishing module
- With the Multi-Channel Live Streaming module, you can deliver multiple live streams via one player
- Live transcription for automated subtitling
- Using multi-CDN

VOD stands for video on demand. With this type of project, you provide audio and video content that can be accessed online 24/7. 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.

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.

With the webcasting module, you create landing pages for live and on-demand webcasts or webinars, equip the pages with functions and content and control the processes during the event. 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 townhalls. The module supports individual webcasts and webcast series (parallel webcasts) as well as multilingual webcasts.

With this module, you can combine multiple live stream projects in one player. The viewer can switch between content and 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.

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 URLs from VAST and vPAID-enabled ad servers or Google DFP (Google Ads).
