Post-Production, MAM/DAM & Render
- MAM/DAM pipelines, mezzanine formats (ProRes, DNxHR, XAVC), IMF/DCP mastering.
- Burst render farms (GPU/CPU) in colo/cloud; color pipelines (HDR10, Dolby Vision), Dolby Atmos.
Playout, OTT & Multi-CDN
- Channel playout, origination/origin-shield, multi-CDN with real-time traffic steering.
- LL-HLS/LL-DASH/WebRTC for ultra-low-latency events; DVR, catch-up, blackout rules.
Ad-Tech & Measurement
- SCTE-35/104 cueing; SSAI/CSAI workflows; VAST/VPAID/OpenRTB integrations.
- Ad beacons, viewability, fraud mitigation; first-party data and consented targeting.
QoE, QC & Accessibility

- Immutable acceptance bundle: QC/QoE reports, DRM/license timing, SCTE cue detections, EAS tests.
π£οΈ Quote Process for Media (transparent, production-ready)
1) Scope & Intake (Day 0β3)
- Channels/feeds, live events/VOD, target platforms/regions, monetization, compliance scope.
2) Discovery & Supplier Graph (Day 3β10)
- Carriers, contribution paths, colo/IX adjacency, multi-CDN options, DRM/license services.
3) Design-to-Quote (Day 7β14)
- End-to-end media architecture, BoM, SLO tables, acceptance/evidence plan, compliance overlays.
4) Review & Refine (Day 14β20)
- Good/Better/Best: latency vs cost, multi-CDN steering, DRM choices, ad-tech stack harmonization.
5) Finalize & Order (Day 20+)
- Circuit/FOCs, encoder/packager turn-ups, CDN/DRM/SSAI activation; acceptance sign-off bundle.
