Experience the Benefits

Capture New Viewers: The proliferation of viewing devices makes video delivery possible to a wider audience than ever before. New tablets and smart phones are flooding the market, but to reach them, providers must convert video libraries at irregular intervals to support numerous screen sizes and resolutions. Elemental Cloud lets video suppliers scale seamlessly with market growth and ensure transcoding capacity is always in line with demand.

Protect Your Audience: Media coverage of breaking news can unexpectedly drive demand for archived video from documentaries, interviews and other content. This influx of usage can overwhelm processing equipment and constrain production of key assets, driving viewers to other outlets. By using Elemental Cloud to elastically scale transcoding up and down during these events, content providers can easily deliver video that audiences would otherwise seek elsewhere.

Extract Unrealized Revenue: The emerging multiscreen ecosystem is creating new revenue opportunities for archived content, but supporting the transcoding infrastructure required to convert a video library into new distribution formats can be costly and inefficient. Elemental’s flexible, on-site appliance provides access to infinite resources by conditioning large in-house data for secure, high-speed delivery to the cloud.

Eliminate Excess Costs: Many companies are forced to overinvest in video infrastructure to prevent capacity shortages caused by market growth or usage spikes. Elemental Cloud enables video providers to minimize costs by reducing capital expenditures in exchange for operational expenses that are only incurred as resources are actually used.
