Overview
DistroTV Studio is the fastest path from video library to fully monetizable FAST channel on AWS. Built by DistroScale. The creators of DistroTV, the world's largest independent FAST platform. Studio automates every technical step so content owners can focus on programming, branding, and revenue. Ingest anything: upload MP4 files or point to an existing HLS, RTMP, or SRT feed. Auto transcode & package: EC2 powered render farm produces adaptive bitrate HLS with thumbnail sprites, captions, and SSAI ready ad markers. NoCode scheduling: drop a TSV schedule to generate 24/7 playout and EPG files. One click publish: output is stored in your S3 bucket, instantly playable in any player. Monetize everywhere: standards compliant ad breaks work with leading SSAI partners or DistroScale's own ad tech stack. Observability & control: query the builtin API for logs, channel health, and asset status. Pay only for the AWS resources you consume. Launch your channel today. No DevOps heavy lifting required.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
