FAQ

Common questions about OTT development

How long does it take to launch an OTT platform?

A standard OTT platform (web + Android + iOS, VOD + live, subscription management) can be launched in 8–12 weeks. Platforms with complex requirements (multiple subscription tiers, advanced recommendations, multi-language dubbing) take 16–24 weeks. We use a modular launch approach — launch with core features first, then add advanced features in subsequent releases.

Can you integrate with our existing broadcast infrastructure?

Yes. We integrate with broadcast contribution feeds (SRT, RTMP, HLS) from your playout server or broadcast encoder for live channel streaming. For VOD, we accept most video formats (MXF, MOV, MP4, MKV) and handle transcoding and packaging for adaptive streaming.

How is video content protected from piracy?

Multi-DRM (Widevine + FairPlay + PlayReady) prevents downloading and screen recording on most devices. We also implement: watermarking for forensic tracing of leaked content, geo-restriction to limit content to licensed territories, concurrent stream limits (typically 2–3 per account), and session token validation to prevent account sharing.

What is the typical cost of building an OTT platform?

An OTT platform with web + Android + iOS apps, VOD and live streaming, subscription management, and basic analytics starts from ₹12–20 Lakhs for development. Ongoing infrastructure costs depend on content volume and concurrent viewers — typically ₹50,000–2 Lakhs/month for a regional OTT platform. We provide detailed infrastructure cost modelling before development begins.
