How a live sports or concert stream reaches millions: venue encoders, cloud ingest and transcoding, packaging, and multi-CDN delivery.
Deployment diagrams are part of Pro. Anyone can view this one; generating and editing it needs Pro.
Drawing diagram…
Deployment for live event streaming: cameras at the venue feed a production switcher and two redundant contribution encoders sending SRT streams over dual internet links to cloud ingest in two regions. Live transcoders produce a bitrate ladder (1080p to 240p), a packager creates HLS/DASH with DRM and ad markers, an origin shield feeds two CDNs, and a player SDK in apps switches CDNs if one degrades. Real-time analytics monitor concurrency and buffering.

How an uploaded master video becomes adaptive streams: ingest, quality checks, transcoding into several resolutions, packaging, DRM and publishing.
How an article or video moves through a newsroom or media house: drafting, editing, legal review, scheduling and publishing across channels.
How a metered paywall works on a news or streaming site: free article count, the paywall, subscription purchase and entitlement.
A database schema for an OTT catalog: titles, seasons, episodes, people, genres, media assets and regional availability.
From recording to publishing a podcast episode: editing, show notes, review, and distribution to every podcast app.
