Live CDN delivery

Global reach without CDN complexity.

Connect your origin, configure delivery, and monitor your stream from one clear control panel.

Never required

Prepaid, never invoiced later

Honest analytics

See what happened — and when it was measured.

Delivery health, traffic, errors, and usage, each stamped with how fresh the data actually is.

Lag shown, never hidden

Your delivery address

Give every stream a memorable endpoint.

Claim a name such as arena.cdnlive.io and keep one consistent delivery address.

TLS included

How it works

From your origin to viewers in four steps.

CDNLive checks your stream and your delivery setup before you go live, then gives you one place to watch it.

Join early access
  1. 01

    Connect your stream

    Point CDNLive at a healthy HLS, DASH, or CMAF origin. Your encoder and packager stay exactly where they are.

  2. 02

    Claim your address

    Reserve an available name such as arena.cdnlive.io. That becomes the one URL your viewers use.

  3. 03

    Set your budget

    Load credit, choose a monthly ceiling, and decide when you want warning. You can never be billed past it.

  4. 04

    Go live

    Start delivering. Add CDNLive SSAI — or connect your own — whenever ad insertion actually matters to you.

Analytics you can trust

See delivery health, traffic, and spend in one place.

Every view shows where the data came from, when it was last updated, and whether recent figures may still change.

SSAI insights

With CDNLive SSAI, ad delivery and operational data sit alongside your CDN results.

Player experience

Startup and buffering need player-side data. We will not pretend CDN traffic tells that story.

Planned AI-agent access with MCP

Let your agent help without giving it unlimited control.

We are designing controlled access for approved AI assistants to check delivery health, review usage, and help with routine operations. You will decide what an agent can see and do.

Questions and answers

Live delivery

What is CDNLive?

CDNLive is a live streaming content delivery platform for teams that already produce HLS, DASH, or CMAF streams. Connect one packaged origin, deliver it worldwide through a branded address, monitor delivery health and usage, and add server-side ad insertion only if you need it.

What is a live streaming CDN?

A live streaming CDN delivers manifests and media segments from locations closer to viewers. This reduces the distance each request travels, protects the origin from direct audience load, and helps a stream handle viewers in different regions or sudden traffic peaks.

Which network powers CDNLive delivery?

CDNLive delivers over the Amtecco global edge network: 4,200+ edge servers across 130+ countries, built for always-on live video. CDNLive adds a simpler control panel, branded delivery addresses, monitoring, spend controls, and optional SSAI on top of it.

Which live streaming formats does CDNLive support?

CDNLive is designed for packaged HLS, MPEG-DASH, and CMAF live streams. Your manifest and media segments must already be available from a healthy origin before delivery is activated.

Does CDNLive encode or package video?

No. CDNLive focuses on live content delivery, optional SSAI, monitoring, analytics, and spend control. Keep using the encoder and packager that already produce your HLS, DASH, or CMAF output.

Formats and protocols

Does CDNLive support Low-Latency HLS (LL-HLS) or low-latency DASH?

Not in the first release. CDNLive delivers standard HLS, MPEG-DASH and CMAF. Low-latency HLS relies on partial segments and blocking playlist reloads, and low-latency DASH on chunked-transfer delivery — both change how the edge must handle manifests and segments, and we would rather support them properly than claim them early. If glass-to-glass latency below a few seconds is a hard requirement for you today, tell us and we will be straight about whether we are a fit.

Does CDNLive handle SCTE-35 ad markers and VAST or VMAP ad responses?

Yes, when server-side ad insertion is enabled. SCTE-35 markers in your stream signal where an ad break starts and how long it runs. CDNLive calls your ad decision server, which responds with VAST or VMAP, and the returned creatives are stitched into the manifest before it reaches the viewer. If you run SSAI in your own environment, CDNLive delivers the stream and your setup continues to handle the ad decisioning.

What is egress, and how does CDNLive measure it?

Egress is the data your viewers actually download from the edge — manifests and media segments. CDNLive bills on edge bytes delivered, measured in gigabytes, where 1 TB = 1000 GB. You are not billed for data between your origin and the edge, and you are not billed for requests.

Does CDNLive use an origin shield?

Edge caching means many viewers requesting the same segment result in one fetch from your origin, which is the main protection your origin gets. A dedicated origin shield tier — a single mid-tier cache that further collapses origin requests — is not something we expose as a customer-configurable feature today.

Using CDNLive

What delivery URL will my live stream use?

Choose an available name of at least five characters under cdnlive.io, such as arena.cdnlive.io. Early-access delivery uses a CDNLive address; ask our team if your project has custom-domain requirements.

Can an AI assistant manage CDNLive through MCP?

Controlled MCP access is planned for early access. CDNLive is being designed so approved AI assistants can help check delivery health, review usage, and perform permitted routine actions while you control and can revoke their access.

Who is CDNLive for?

CDNLive is for broadcasters, OTT services, FAST channel operators, live sports and event teams, streaming platforms, and media engineers that already create packaged live streams and want simpler global delivery with clearer cost control.

How is CDNLive different from a video hosting platform?

A video hosting platform usually manages uploaded files, libraries, players, and on-demand publishing. CDNLive is focused on delivering already packaged live streams, monitoring their health and usage, and optionally adding server-side advertising.

What happens when I join early access?

You join a product contact list so we can learn about your stream and invite suitable teams as access opens. The form does not create a paid account, start delivery, collect credentials, or create a payment obligation.
