Advantages of Digital Rapids Transcode ManagerPrecision — Transcode Engines are based on the industry-proven Digital Rapids Stream encoding technology used by major studios and facilities every day to create precise outputs for demanding applications. In addition to being able to create files that conform to industry specifications (such as compatibility with the CableLabs® content encoding specification), Transcode Manager output files adhere to the exacting specifications, stream and bit rate conformance required by professional applications and devices such as set-top boxes.
Benefit: Transcode Engines are built on the proven Stream encoding technology that delivers outputs with precise conformance for demanding applications and devices.
Cost-effectiveness — Digital Rapids Transcode Manager’s automated capabilities significantly reduce the operational overhead and costs associated with manual management and monitoring of high-volume media transcoding, while Transcode Manager’s cost of ownership (both initial software investment and recurring maintenance fees) is more affordable than most other enterprise-level transcoding solutions.
Benefit: Lower cost of ownership and reduced operator overhead lead to more profitable media publishing.
Scalability — Transcode Manager is scalable from small transcoding “farms” to enterprise level operations with hundreds of Transcode Engines. New systems running Transcode Engine software-based transcoding instances are automatically discovered on the network and can be added to a Transcode Manager installation without interruption to existing transcoding nodes and jobs.
Benefit: Lower deployment costs, faster ramp up time for high volume jobs, and greater end to end throughput add up to higher-volume media encoding and faster turnaround. 123
