The Stream Transcode Manager software
provides enterprise-level workflow management for transcoding high
volumes of media files. Boosting throughput and streamlining
operations, Stream Transcode Manager works with XCoder transcoding
nodes and features intelligent load balancing, failover and more.
Scalable, Distributed Media Transcoding
Media professionals are faced
with an ever-increasing array of digital media file formats. While
many formats can be encoded or transcoded faster than real time,
high-volume file format conversion can be a time-consuming
task.
The Stream Transcode Manager software provides
centralized management, automation and load balancing for large
transcoding jobs involving many media files, increasing your
production volume while reducing the overhead and costs associated
with manual management and monitoring. Scalable from small
transcoding 'farms' to enterprise level operations, Stream Transcode
Manager works in conjunction with multiple Digital Rapids XCoder
software-based transcoding nodes or Stream media encoding systems
configured for distributed transcoding, intelligently assigning jobs
to use them most efficiently.
Automated Intelligence for Maximum Throughput
and Reliability
Stream Transcode Manager goes beyond
standard load balancing mechanisms with intelligent job assignment,
predicting which node can most efficiently process a given job. The
Stream Transcode Manager server tracks the performance of each
networked transcoding system for each type of encode, 'learning'
which nodes are best for each and allocating jobs accordingly to
optimize utilization and throughput. Priorities can be assigned to
each job type, and can be manually overridden for time-critical
jobs.
Stream Transcode Manager provides automated failure
recovery through job failover. Stream Transcode Manager monitors the
status of its networked nodes, attempting to restart any failed
transcodes. If a failure is detected and the transcode cannot be
successfully restarted on that system, the job is resubmitted to
another node, ensuring that the job is completed. An integrated
database tracks all activities and events, while automated
notifications and report publishing keep you informed of job
progress, completion and failures.
Easy to Set Up, Simple to Operate
Stream Transcode Manager integrates
easily into IP network-based digital media workflows. Transcoding
nodes are found automatically on the network using discovery
protocols and can be assigned into groups, each monitoring specified
watch folders (hot folders).
Project files define transcode settings, video
pre-processing functions (including graphic overlay, color space
conversion, scaling and more) and delivery optoins (including
folders, web publishing, FTP, E-mail and our optional Copper
wirespeed, secure transfer software). When files are dropped into a
watch folder, jobs for each project file assigned to that folder are
queued by Stream Transcode Manager for distribution to an available
transcoder. Jobs can alos be sent to Stream Transcode Manager
directly from Digital Rapids Stream encoding solutions through the
Stream software interface. Stream Transcode Manager supports both
high definition (HD) and SD content, with a broad range of
compression and file formats. Its flexible software codec
architecture also insures against obsolescence, enabling the easy
addition of new formats.
