Why has Merapar developed MDKs?

  • Media platforms need a balanced (hybrid) design and build approach to smartly deploy new technologies. They should be cost-effective, adaptable and future-proof.

  • Drawing on our cloud-native expertise in OTT and broadcast platforms, we deliver common functionality and practices needed to accelerate time to market and reduce total cost of ownership. We deliver superior value from advanced AI technologies for data enrichment and personalisation, and build elastic video back ends that orchestrate at scale, with security and economy.

  • Shared components let us deliver faster and to a consistent standard.

The platform kits

The foundations of the suite, covering the back-end work almost every media platform has to do.

  • Metadata Enrichment Kit

    All the functionality to ingest, collate and curate with 3rd party AI integrations.

  • Content Recommendation Kit

    Automate configuration and deployment of Amazon Personalize for media content services.

  • Dynamic Ad Insertion Framework

    Lowers barrier to entry. Integrates with all ad managers & players. Centralised policy manager. FAST compliant.

  • Live Event Streaming Kit

    Agility to scale up and down; spin up/tear down. Employ serverless & cloud resources for economy, scale and performance of all live events.

AI-native accelerators

Built on the same foundations, two newer accelerators apply generative AI to two long-standing media problems: finding content, and logging it.
