Montgomery Municipal Cable Television (MMCTV)
Streamlined Content Delivered
Montgomery Municipal Cable Television (MMCTV) is a Public, Educational and Government (PEG) access channel in Montgomery Country, Maryland. MMC was distributing content using three methods – broadcast cable, streaming from the MMCTV website, and YouTube. A proprietary encoder appliance delivered streamed content providing over-the-top (OTT) and video-on-demand (VOD) content to viewers through embedded video players within the MMCTV website.
PEG access channels across the country conduct their online streaming through similar proprietary tools. These tools often come at high monthly costs for the service, and MMC found they were not utilizing many of the features.
With the client already having a YouTube channel account, Human Circuit engineered a system to consolidate their streaming entirely through YouTube. An AWS Elemental Live encoder now provides a video stream to YouTube enabling the live streaming channel. There is now a page designed for VOD with embedded links and thumbnails to stream content from the YouTube channel.
