MXF Video Server and Converter Development

With the increasing importance of managing and distributing video content, we are currently developing a video server that can play MXF files and convert and output them to HD-SDI. We have requested the assistance of a freelancer with specialized knowledge.

Details of the request:
We will implement MXF file playback functionality and build a system that can output the video signal in HD-SDI format. Specifically, we will be responsible for everything from requirements definition to design, development, and testing. We would also like you to provide implementation support after release.
