High Performance
Create content for delivery via common streaming formats including Adobe HDS, Apple
HLS, MPEG-DASH, QuickTime or using traditional broadcast formats. Reduce storage costs by creating mezzanine files formatted and ready for wrapping with a separate packager such as
AWS Elemental Delta.
Versatile Design
Unique software-based video processing developed in-house offers rapid optimization and enhancement of video codecs including MPEG-2, H.264 and
HEVC. Highly upgradable infrastructure provides evolving support for ad insertion, captioning, watermarking and other monetization methods.
Flexible Deployment Models
Expand video processing as needed to flex with variable demand, whether on the ground, in virtual clusters or in the cloud. Deploy the same video processing software with complete compatibility anywhere to satisfy business needs.
