Make TV – Essentials Channel.
Broadcasters are looking for a simpler way — technically and operationally — to originate thematic channels without compromising on reliability or the premium viewing experience their audience demands.
The Essentials channel is an origination option for the Aviator Make TV cloud playout solution.

Delivering exceptional video, audio, and graphics quality, Essentials channels ensure that the focus on premium-quality viewing experiences at the heart of Aviator is maintained in even the simplest channel origination applications.
