NextGen Live Task Scheduler

Overview of the NextGen Live Task Scheduler for automated channel start/stop and scheduled clip generation.

Introduction

The NextGen Live Task Scheduler runs API operations on your behalf at scheduled times. You can schedule:

  • Job start/stop: automatically start and stop a live channel
  • Clip generation: create a VOD clip from a live channel at a future time

Schedules can be created in the Control Room or through the Live API v2 scheduler endpoints.
