OTT Platforms Development

OTT (Over-The-Top) is video delivered over the internet (bypassing traditional broadcast). OTT Platforms Development is the practice of building end-to-end streaming services. The stack includes: content ingestion, encoding (converting video to multiple bitrates), storage, delivery (CDN), playback (adaptive streaming), and monetization (ads, subscriptions). Core components: video codec (H.264, H.265), container format (MP4, Matroska), streaming protocol (HLS, DASH, RTMP), DRM (Widevine, PlayReady), and client (web, mobile, TV).
