A Platform for the Development and Deployment of Software-Defined Media Processing Pipelines

We present the implementation of a platform available today for the easy development and deployment of media process pipelines for video transcoding and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. This platform implements an open-source software architecture that combines broadcast industry standards (SMPTE ST 2110, AMWA NMOS, RIST, SRT and NDI) with proven IT industry methods (containers, Kubernetes, Helm) running on common-of-the-shelf (COTS) hardware that prevents vendor lock in on-prem, in the cloud or on the edge. Applications developed for this platform are easily deployed using an open-source automation layer and dynamically interconnected to build any desired pipeline or workflow.
