AstraSignal
Machine-readable signaling for SCTE events, timed metadata and runtime triggers that connect broadcast schedules with streaming and advertising systems.
Product overview
AstraSignal is the event fabric for commercial breaks, programme boundaries and other time-based actions. It is designed to turn schedule or operator intent into explicit signals that can be carried into playout, manifests, players, ad systems, graphics and as-run records.
Astra positioning: AstraSignal can operate as part of the Trendest Studio / Trendest TV environment or be productised independently as a SaaS/API/SDK or enterprise integration depending on the customer workflow. Product scope and commercial readiness can vary by deployment.
What AstraSignal is designed to handle
Technical architecture
Standalone or integrated
Deployment can range from a focused cloud service integrated with an existing customer stack to a deeply connected module inside the AYA platforms. API boundaries, event identifiers and common metadata are intended to keep the product composable.
Enterprise operating discipline
Relevant production deployments require role-based access, secrets management, audit history, environment isolation, backup/restore strategy, health monitoring, change control and data-retention policies appropriate to the customer and jurisdiction.
Media-industry use cases
