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.

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.
