Projects are a place to bring all your streams and viewers together. A project could be a film production, a coporate event, a live broadcast, a remote live edit viewing - whatever you wish to make it.

Projects contain the base elements for creating a sytem to package, transcode and deliver your streams to end viewers of your choice.

As video flows into and out of your project you have 4 project objects that help you manage the pipeline of your video.

This is how your stream will flow through your project. Program > Channel > Group > User

Here is a typical flow for a small film project as an example:

Project Users are organisation members, managers or admins that have been added to the project. Even organisation admins will need adding to a project and assigned to a group that has a channel that contains programs to ensure they can view the end streams.

Groups are a way to easily manage and divide your project user base so that granular viewing control can be given to various sections of your user base. A group can be a unit on a film production, it could be a way to allocate access all programs to executives or clients. The need to place users in to groups and how those groups access certain channels is entirely up to your project.

Programs are how your incoming streams are handled start to end of the streaming process. They are a package to which you can connect any one stream at any time.

Whilst your stream sources may need to change your programs are a constant in your project and provide and input and output. Think of programs as the vehicle for your stream - anyone can get in the vehicle and drive it but it is the vehicle you manage in the project.

Channels are a way to bundle programs in to groups. A channel could be a unit of camera feeds on a film production, a way to group all feeds into one place or even a way to break up feeds coming from different parts of the country/world - they are as flexible as you need them to be.
