Hello.

I am a computer solution provider, and my costumer ask me about Playout Software and other equipaments.

I don’t know if Wowza is a Playout Software or not.

Could you help me to help my costumer?

I am sure you can.

Thank you, a lot.

Zé Otávio

I wouldn’t call Wowza a playout system if you compare it to playout systems that we see in the broadcast world. You could probably use it as playout with customization, but it’s primarily focused on the distribution side.
