August 2007 UK Broadcaster Channel 4 Encodes for VoD, Mobile and More with StreamZ
Multiple ingest modes (50Mbps I-frame MXF MPEG-2 and MPEG-1) are available, which can be transcoded to Windows Media (WM9), MPEG-2 and soon MPEG-4. The service providers receive an output file that is generated from broadcast quality 50Mbps MPEG-2. Channel 4 utilises a Metastorm E-Works workflow management system providing transcode business process management. The system can send material to service platforms up to seven days in advance of transmission, with an embargoed output date.
StreamZ has been instrumental in enabling the fast deployment of VoD for Channel 4. We’ve had aggressive target dates to launch multiple platforms within six months and this was achieved thanks to the reliability and capability of the StreamZ units.
