Enterprise Video Encoding & Multi-Channel Distribution Platform
A media company needed a comprehensive platform to manage their video content lifecycle from upload to encoding to multi-channel distribution, supporting different output specifications for each distribution partner.

The Challenge
Managing video content distribution across multiple channels and partners presented significant operational hurdles:
- Each distribution partner required different encoding formats, resolutions, and codecs
- Manual encoding and upload processes couldn't keep up with content volume
- No centralized system to track encoding status, failures, and retries
- Caption files needed to be discovered, processed, and bundled with video assets
- Scheduling content across multiple channels required a calendar-based workflow
Our Solution
We built a full-stack video production platform with automated encoding pipelines, multi-channel scheduling, and partner-specific output profiles.
Architecture
- Main Backend: NestJS 11 with TypeScript, MongoDB/Mongoose, Redis
- Encoder Backend: Specialized NestJS service for encoding orchestration
- Lambda Service: AWS Lambda for serverless encoding workflow triggers
- Frontend: React 18 + Vite with Bootstrap, React Hook Form, ApexCharts
- Encoder Dashboard: Dedicated React interface for encoding management
- Media Processing: AWS MediaConvert with FFmpeg fallback
Encoding Pipeline
- Upload - Video upload to AWS S3 (single or bulk)
- Metadata Extraction - Duration calculation, cue point generation
- Caption Discovery - Automatic caption file matching and processing
- Profile Selection - Partner-specific encoding profiles applied
- MediaConvert Job - AWS MediaConvert processes the transcode
- Quality Check - Automated verification of output specifications
- Distribution - Assets delivered to partner-specific channels
Key Features
- Partner Profiles - Custom encoding specs per distribution partner
- Bulk Upload - Handle large content libraries with batch processing
- Caption Processing - Automatic caption file discovery and format conversion
- Calendar Scheduling - FullCalendar-based content scheduling per channel
- Retry Logic - Automatic retry with error classification for failed jobs
- Analytics Dashboard - Encoding status, throughput, and error rate visualization
- Role-Based Access - JWT authentication with admin user management

Client-Side Ad Insertion (CSAI) with SCTE-35 Marker Parsing & Multi-Platform Player Integration
A video streaming platform needed to implement Client-Side Ad Insertion (CSAI) across web, mobile, and connected TV apps — enabling personalized, device-level ad experiences with full ad interaction support (clickable overlays, companion banners, skip buttons) that server-side insertion cannot provide.
SCTE-35 Ad Marker Signaling & Media Trailer Insertion Pipeline
A streaming media company needed a robust, automated pipeline for injecting SCTE-35 ad markers into live and VOD streams, along with the ability to insert promotional trailers (pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll) at precisely timed positions — enabling monetization across FAST channels, live events, and on-demand content libraries.
AWS Media Services for FAST Channel Streaming over SRT
A media company needed to establish reliable, low-latency contribution feeds for their FAST channels using the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol — enabling high-quality content ingest from remote studios, cloud playout systems, and syndication partners over unpredictable internet connections.
