The CMS manages content and service configuration, while subscriber systems determine who can access specific content. The CDN handles video delivery, and DRM protects premium streams.
Applications for iOS, Android, web browsers, Android TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and other platforms provide the customer-facing experience.
A well-designed OTT architecture connects these components through APIs and integrations so that operators can manage the service centrally.
