MapongaStudio: Media Content Management & FAST Channel

MicrocosmWorks built the FAST channel system using AWS Lambda functions that orchestrate MediaLive, MediaPackage, and MediaTailor for one-click live linear channel provisioning. Calendar-based scheduling with FullCalendar provides drag-and-drop program slot management, while SCTE-35 splice insert markers enable MediaTailor server-side ad insertion (SSAI) during live playback. Dynamic input switching using MediaLive's $urlPath$ feature handles content rotation without per-video inputs.

MicrocosmWorks developed an AWS Lambda function that triggers MediaConvert encoding jobs on S3 upload, producing partner-specific output profiles from configurable encoding templates. Each distribution partner like TCL or Vizio receives video in their required format, resolution, and bitrate specifications. The encoding pipeline handles batch processing and sends completion notifications, so operators only need to upload once for multi-partner distribution.

MicrocosmWorks built a three-phase upload workflow: presigned multipart S3 upload initiation, chunked upload with progress tracking, and server-side confirm-and-finalize that validates file integrity. Files up to 11 GB are uploaded directly from the browser to S3 using presigned URLs, bypassing the NestJS backend for transfer. This approach eliminates server bandwidth bottlenecks and supports resume-on-failure for large media files over unreliable connections.

Yes, MicrocosmWorks built MapongaStudio as a unified content management platform. The asset library manages on-demand video with multi-step creation forms, CSV bulk import, HLS playback preview, episode management, and thumbnail/caption management. FAST channel operations including scheduling, ad insertion, and live monitoring are accessible in the same interface, with SSO connecting the main M-Studio app and the sister Encoder App.

MicrocosmWorks built real-time analytics dashboards using ApexCharts showing asset performance, channel viewership, video engagement metrics, and a financial and sales reporting layer. The analytics cover both FAST channel metrics like viewer retention and ad fill rate, and asset library metrics like upload volume and encoding completion rates. MRSS feed generation enables content syndication tracking across distribution partners.
