Project Overview: Transition to Video Streaming Architecture

Velocitor is transforming the current video delivery model from download-based viewing to a streaming-first architecture. This initiative will leverage HTTP-based adaptive streaming protocols (HLS/MPEG-DASH) and Azure Media Services to provide a seamless, high-quality viewing experience across devices. By implementing adaptive bitrate streaming, we will optimize playback for varying network conditions, reduce storage overhead, and improve content security. This shift positions V-Track for scalability, faster content delivery, and a modern user experience aligned with industry best practices.

Scope of Work:

• Implement HTTP-based video streaming protocols (HLS, MPEG-DASH) and ensure adaptive bitrate functionality.
• Integrate Azure Media Services, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure CDN for scalable video delivery.
• Develop and maintain APIs using .NET (C#) for video content management and delivery.
• Build interactive video experiences using JavaScript, Node.js, React, and modern video players (e.g., Video.js, HLS.js).
• Optimize video encoding and transcoding workflows using FFmpeg or similar tools.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure performance, security, and scalability of video solutions.

Expected Qualifications:

• Proven experience implementing HLS or MPEG-DASH streaming protocols.
• Strong understanding of adaptive bitrate streaming and video delivery optimization.
• Hands-on experience with Azure Media Services, Azure Blob Storage, and preferably Azure CDN.
• Proficiency in .NET (C#) and API integration for video workflows.
• Working knowledge of JavaScript, Node.js, React, and modern video players.
• Solid grasp of video encoding, transcoding, and bitrate optimization techniques.
• Familiarity with FFmpeg or similar video processing tools.
