Abstract
A stream playout and distribution system and method for disparate live media output stream playout and broadcast distribution are provided. The system generates a broadcast content schedule based on broadcast content parameters associated with programming content scheduled for a broadcast channel. The system further receives, encodes, and packages broadcast content to generate a plurality of encoded broadcast content segments. The system further generates a playout schedule based on insertion of a schedule for non-programming content in the broadcast content schedule, and then generates a plurality of disparate live media output stream manifests. The system further receives a disparate live media output stream manifest of the plurality of disparate live media output stream manifests, retrieves broadcast content segments encoded in a first encoding format, and converts the broadcast content segments to a second encoding format, wherein the second encoding format is in accordance with one or more broadcasting protocols.
