Media Fabric
End-to-end media supply chain from ingest and transcoding to packaging and multi-platform distribution — one operated pipeline instead of a chain of tools that drop quality between handoffs. Supports adaptive-bitrate packaging (HLS, DASH), SDR/HDR colour pipeline pass-through, QC-gated workflows and elastic scaling for live events and VOD catalogues alike.
Overview
Media content lives or dies on whether the picture arrives — clean, on time, to every screen where the audience expects it. Media Fabric is an end-to-end managed media pipeline from capture to distribution: ingest live feeds through SRT, RIST or Zixi and file-based content through Aspera or S3; transcode across H.264, H.265 and AV1 with JPEG-XS mezzanine; package as HLS or DASH with CMAF; and deliver to CDN edge or direct to viewer. All of this runs on one connected, QC-gated pipeline rather than a chain of point tools that drop quality at every handoff. We operate the media flow as a single managed service so your content reaches every screen consistently.
Clevertek scopes every engagement to your environment — capacity, sites, compliance and support model — so you get a tailored plan rather than a fixed SKU. Pricing is quote-only, and our solutions architects will work through your requirements before any proposal.
Our approach
We design, deploy and operate the complete media processing and delivery pipeline for broadcasters, OTT platforms and content enterprises. Our engagement covers pipeline architecture design, live and file-based ingest setup, transcoding and packaging configuration, CDN integration, QC workflow automation and ongoing managed operations with 24x7 NOC monitoring.
Why work with us
Carrier-grade media infrastructure
Our media fabric runs on the same network infrastructure that carries global voice and data traffic. The transport layer is built for deterministic performance, not best-effort internet delivery.
End-to-end managed service
We design, deploy and operate the full pipeline. Your content team focuses on programming and editorial; we ensure the picture reaches every screen within the latency and quality parameters you specify.
India and global reach
Points of presence in major Indian cities and global media hubs. Content ingested in Mumbai can be processed, QCd and delivered to viewers in Delhi, Dubai, London and Singapore on the same managed fabric.
Key benefits
What this solution delivers for your business.
Single pipeline, not point tools
Ingest, transcode, QC, package and deliver on one connected platform instead of stitching together separate encoder, packager and origin tools. The picture quality survives the journey end to end.
Format agility without reinvestment
Add new codecs, packaging formats or delivery protocols as the market evolves. The fabric supports H.264, H.265, AV1, Dolby Vision, HDR10-plus, HLS, DASH and CMAF on the same architecture.
Quality gates before the audience sees
Automated QC with freeze-frame detection, block artefact analysis and loudness compliance stops defective content before it reaches the CDN. Your audience never sees a failed encode.
What's included
Part of this managed service.
Multi-protocol live and file ingest
Live feeds through SRT, RIST or Zixi with adaptive bitrate transport and automatic retry. File-based content through Aspera, S3 or FTP with automated triggering and format validation on arrival.
- SRT, RIST and Zixi live ingest
- Aspera and S3 file-based ingest
- Adaptive bitrate transport with retry
- Automated format validation on arrival
Multi-codec transcoding and packaging
Transcode across H.264, H.265 and AV1 with SDR or HDR colour pipeline pass-through. Package as HLS, DASH or CMAF with automated ABR ladder generation per target format and device.
- H.264, H.265 and AV1 transcoding
- CMAF packaging with fMP4 segments
- HDR colour pass-through and tone mapping
- Automated ABR ladder per output format
Automated quality control
QC gates that analyse every asset for freeze frames, block artefacts, audio level anomalies and loudness compliance before release. Content that fails is blocked and flagged, not pushed live.
- Automated QC analysis on every asset
- Freeze-frame and block artefact detection
- Loudness compliance against EBU R128
- Alert and block on QC failure before delivery
Elastic scaling for any workload
A single pipeline architecture that handles a 10,000-hour VOD catalogue or a record-breaking live event. Encoding and packaging capacity scales elastically so you do not re-architect between modes.
- Elastic transcoding and packaging capacity
- Live and VOD on the same pipeline
- Burst-ready for peak event demand
- No architecture change between workload modes
Where it helps
Real-world scenarios where this solution delivers measurable outcomes.
A media chain that drops quality across four different tools
Consolidate capture, transcode, QC, package and delivery on one managed fabric. The picture survives the journey without artefacting at each handoff between disconnected tools.
Format proliferation across devices and markets
Package once in CMAF and adapt to every screen and region. Stop maintaining separate encoders, packagers and profiles for each destination platform.
Questions buyers actually ask
Is Media Fabric the same as a CDN?
No. A CDN is the delivery edge. Media Fabric covers everything before the CDN — ingest, transcoding, QC, packaging and origin. The CDN is the last mile; the fabric is the pipeline that feeds it.
Does it handle live and file-based content on the same platform?
Yes. The same pipeline accepts a live feed or a file-based library and outputs to any screen. You run both workloads on one operating model rather than maintaining separate live and VOD stacks.
How does this relate to Live Event Services?
Live Event Services is the production plan and crew for a specific event. Media Fabric is the standing operational pipeline underneath. Events ride on the fabric.
