High Performance Video Transcoding

Features

• Universal Input Support – Decode any input format through a combination of hardware and software, providing the best combination of performance and flexibility. Support available for all common broadcast, editing and user generated content formats.
• High Density Transcoding – Transcode with unprecedented speed and throughput. Convert and output up to twelve independent high definition or 32 independent mobile video files in faster-than-real-time. With a single Elemental Server, simultaneously output hundreds of files formatted for multiple target devices. 
• Uncompromised Video Quality – Deliver the highest quality encoding using cutting-edge, customized codecs including H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2. Compute-intensive video processing functions such as motion adaptive deinterlacing, MPEG-2 deblocking and temporal frame rate conversion are optimized to run on the GPU.
• Produce Multiple Outputs – Create multiple resolution, bit rate and output formats targeting a variety of players and platforms, including support for adaptive streaming content targeted to Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash and Apple iOS devices. Wrap content in popular containers including F4V, ASF/WMV, 3GP, MP4 and MPEG-2 for maximum workflow efficiency.
• Efficient Audio Processing – Intelligent audio muxing allows independent audio channels to be combined with a single video stream to create unique outputs without additional processing cost.
• Reduce Management Overhead – Use REST/XML APIs or the web-based interface to simplify tasks such as system setup, workflow integration and job queuing, scheduling and prioritization. Consolidate and streamline transcoding operations by replacing multiple existing systems with Elemental Server.
• Scalable, Reliable Architecture – Scale server farms easily by combining multiple Elemental Server units in a shared job queue that automatically distributes encoding tasks. Deliver high reliability with a fully redundant job scheduler for automatic failover between multiple systems.
