Media Acceleration Live Broadcast allows you to deliver live video through the Atomile CDN. You can use it to ingest live streams from broadcasters or encoders, pull live streams from your own origin, and distribute playback traffic through CDN edge servers to viewers.

This product is designed for live streaming workflows that require stable ingest, scalable playback, access control, protocol management, origin configuration, and operational visibility. You manage these capabilities through live streaming domains in the Atomile console.

Use this guide as an introduction to Media Acceleration Live Broadcast. It explains the basic product model and helps you find the guide that matches your task.

How Live Streaming Works

Media Acceleration Live Broadcast sits between your live stream source and your viewers.

Stage	What Happens
Stream source	A broadcaster, encoder, or origin server provides the live stream.
CDN ingest or origin pull	Atomile receives pushed streams through an ingest domain or retrieves streams from your origin server.
CDN delivery	Atomile distributes playback traffic through CDN edge servers.
Playback	Viewers request the stream through a delivery domain and play it in a compatible player.

Media Acceleration Live Broadcast supports common live streaming protocols, including RTMP, HTTP-FLV, and HLS. The protocols available for a domain depend on the domain role, live streaming mode, and domain configuration.
