Earning from virtual channels with your existing content. Here’s a glimpse of the potential applications.

Earning from virtual channels with your existing content.

Got video content on the shelf?

Virtual channels are an attractive proposition for anyone with a quantity of video content that is essentially doing little or nothing. Start a virtual live channel with existing content and build an audience. You can monetise this content by integrating online ad-insertion services, adding commercials yourself, or offering it as a paid service to end-users.

FAST, or Free Advertisement Supported Television, is a concept reminiscent of traditional commercial television.
The difference? FAST is entirely online and OTT (Over The Top). With Media Torrente, it becomes easy to monetise existing content by using online ad-insertion services or by adding commercials to your Video on Demand (VoD) based playlist. Media Torrente is also fully compatible with existing SCTE35 applications and can even generate SCTE35 markers from the playlist.

Setting up an OTT TV-channel with Media Torrente from Monboso is simple. If you have a wide range of content, from programs created by external staff to live news broadcasts, Media Torrente seamlessly converts this into an OTT TV-channel through a virtual live channel. The unique ‘Transition’ function also allows you to switch to an actual livestream event at preset times, even if they come from an external source. This way, you can easily switch to local events or emergency broadcasts.

Imagine a concert recorded in 4K video. With Media Torrente, you can organise an online livestream event with 4K “live” video a few hours after the concert, but without the costly equipment. This also gives you the opportunity to edit the production afterwards. A cost-effective solution for a 4K livestream event broadcast. Moreover, a delayed livestream event is an ideal solution for semi-simultaneous broadcasting in different time zones. You organise an online live concert or theatre performance and schedule the live recording at the right times. With Media Torrente, it’s possible to start and schedule everything in advance, and even provide additional (promo) content or commercials.

Imagine a 24/7 online TV channel specifically for the supporters of your football club. With Media Torrente, you can set up your football club’s own online TV channel, entirely based on your content. Think of match reports, player interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and even historical matches. This virtual live channel is a unique way to share club culture, strengthen the bond with supporters, and attract new fans. The best part is, you have full control over the content and programming, and your video content doesn’t have to end up in a large cloud. Instead, it remains entirely yours by opting for our fully Dutch storage.

With Media Torrente, you can create a 24/7 online cartoon channel for children. A channel where children have unlimited access to their favourite cartoons, and parents have the assurance of safe and suitable content. Regularly refresh the playlist that forms the basis of the channel, so there’s always something new to discover. You have complete control over the content and programming of your virtual live channel.

Influencers, it’s time to launch your own TV channel! With a wealth of original content you’ve created, why limit yourself to the big, global platforms? With Media Torrente Monboso, you can become independent and run your own online TV channel. Build your community of followers and lead them to your own channel. Combine your content with a webshop, or broadcast (semi) live on your own website. The possibilities are endless and only limited by your own imagination.
