---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Alternate streams enable users to switch between multiple streams of the same live and VOD event, viewing the same moment in time from various perspectives, given the event is filmed on multiple cameras. Upon switching stream, the playhead position is retained via a deep link. Alternate streams are also available for full event replays (VOD).
DIVA requirements​
To enable Alternate streams, a video production that permits recording of live videos from different cameras is required. DIVA should be configured to call a remote endpoint that retrieves a list of videos.
