AstraStream

Streaming orchestration for origins, manifests, adaptive renditions, low-latency modes, timed metadata and runtime delivery integration.

Product overview

AstraStream is the streaming control layer between packaged media or live outputs and the playback environment. It is designed to coordinate manifests, origins, rendition availability, timestamps, low-latency options and stream-level events while exposing runtime state to other Astra services.

Astra positioning: AstraStream can operate as part of the Trendest Studio / Trendest TV environment or be productised independently as a SaaS/API/SDK or enterprise integration depending on the customer workflow. Product scope and commercial readiness can vary by deployment.

Standalone or integrated

Deployment can range from a focused cloud service integrated with an existing customer stack to a deeply connected module inside the AYA platforms. API boundaries, event identifiers and common metadata are intended to keep the product composable.

SECURITY + OPERATIONS

Enterprise operating discipline

Relevant production deployments require role-based access, secrets management, audit history, environment isolation, backup/restore strategy, health monitoring, change control and data-retention policies appropriate to the customer and jurisdiction.
