Automated Media Transfer and Processing System for Broadcast Content Delivery

The client enterprise requires a robust solution to accelerate and automate the transfer and processing of large media files, including format conversion and metadata management, to meet the demands of high-volume broadcast environments. Manual workflows hinder timely delivery, causing delays and inefficiencies in content distribution across multiple platforms and external systems. Additionally, the client needs integration with external media management systems via APIs to streamline editing, publishing, and archiving processes.
