Case Study: Warner Bros. achieves faster content delivery and scalable video processing with AWS Elemental

Warner Bros. Taps Elemental for Emmy Award-Winning DETE Content Workflow and Distribution System

Warner Bros. Technical Operations faced the challenge of enhancing its Emmy Award-winning DETE content system to handle large-scale video processing for faster, automated distribution. The studio needed to efficiently manage and convert tens of thousands of titles into multiple digital formats while reducing its physical infrastructure footprint. To address this, Warner Bros. tapped AWS Elemental and implemented the Elemental Server video processing solution.

The solution from AWS Elemental was fully integrated into the DETE automated workflow, providing powerful and efficient transcoding. This enabled Warner Bros. to significantly increase its production capacity and time to market. The implementation allowed for the frame-accurate conversion of multiple source formats at high speed, expanded automation to replace manual processes, and future-proofed their infrastructure with support for advanced standards. AWS Elemental's technology was a key enabler for accelerating content distribution across multiple platforms.
