OTT Streaming Platform

Client Background

Our client is a leading media and entertainment company that offers video content through various channels. They wanted to develop an OTT (Over-the-top) app to expand their reach and offer a seamless viewing experience to their users.

We Proposed Solution For OTT Video Software

• After hours of brainstorming, our talented team of developers came up with a well-researched set of AI/ML algorithms that understands viewers’ choices and habits from previous searches and recommend a personalized range of video content to every single individual.
• Our development team resolved the issue of multi-device viewing by curating code in a format that can be accessed across multi-platform providing a similar viewing experience.

• Technical Expertise: We provided the technical expertise required for developing an OTT app. Our team had extensive experience in video encoding, streaming, and storage, which helped us to deliver a high-quality app that met the client’s requirements. Here are some technical solutions for video encoding, streaming, and storage:

  • Video Encoding: Video encoding is the process of converting video files into a format that can be easily streamed or downloaded. There are different video encoding formats available, such as H.264, HEVC, and VP9. Some of the technical solutions for video encoding are:

    • Video Encoding Software: There are several video encoding software available, such as Adobe Media Encoder, Handbrake, and FFmpeg, that can be used to encode video files.
    • Hardware Encoders: Hardware encoders, such as those made by Blackmagic Design and Matrox, can be used for professional-level video encoding.
    • Cloud Encoding Services: Cloud encoding services, such as AWS Elemental MediaConvert and Google Cloud Video Intelligence, provide scalable and cost-effective video encoding solutions.

  • Video Streaming: Video streaming refers to the process of delivering video content over the internet in real-time. Some of the technical solutions for video streaming are:

    • Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): CDNs, such as Akamai, Cloudflare, and Amazon CloudFront, can be used to distribute video content to users in different geographical locations, reducing latency and improving the user experience.
    • Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR): ABR is a technique that adjusts the video quality based on the user’s internet connection speed. Solutions such as MPEG-DASH and HLS enable ABR streaming.
    • Video Streaming Platforms: Video streaming platforms, such as Vimeo, Brightcove, and Kaltura, provide end-to-end video streaming solutions, including encoding, storage, and delivery.

  • Video Storage: Video storage refers to the process of storing video files in a secure and scalable way. Some of the technical solutions for video storage are:

    • Object Storage: Object storage solutions, such as Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage, provide scalable and cost-effective video storage solutions.
    • Network Attached Storage (NAS): NAS solutions, such as QNAP and Synology, provide a simple and efficient way to store and manage video files.
    • Hybrid Cloud Storage: Hybrid cloud storage solutions, such as Backblaze B2 and Wasabi, provide a combination of on-premises and cloud storage, offering both cost savings and data redundancy.

    Overall, these technical solutions provide a comprehensive solution for video encoding, streaming, and storage, allowing for high-quality and seamless video experiences for users.

• Content Management: We developed a custom content management system that allowed the client to easily manage their content library. This system included features such as metadata tagging, categorization, and search functionality, which helped the client to organize their content and make it easily accessible to the users.
• User Experience: We worked closely with the client to design a user experience that was both intuitive and engaging. We conducted user research to understand their needs and preferences, and then used this information to create a wireframe and prototype of the app. We also conducted user testing to validate the design and make any necessary adjustments.

Outcome

The OTT app we developed for the client was a huge success. The app provided a seamless viewing experience to the users and allowed the client to expand their reach and offer their content to a wider audience. The custom content management system we developed allowed the client to efficiently manage their content library and make it easily accessible to the users. The intuitive user experience we designed helped the client to attract and retain users, and the app quickly became one of the most popular OTT streaming apps in the market.
