About Rhozet...

Rhozet is focused on one goal: to provide universal media transcoding. The boom in video consumption (Web, VOD, DVD, mobile, etc.) has resulted in an explosion in the number of formats that content creators and distributors must manage. Video may be captured in one format, edited in another, served live in a third, delivered on-demand via the Web in half a dozen more and then finally archived in yet another. The ability to rapidly and cleanly convert between these formats is critical to any enterprise that is producing or distributing video.

In addition to developing the enterprise transcoding products Carbon Coder and Carbon Server, Rhozet is also the developer of the popular desktop transcoding applications ProCoder and ProCoder Express. These applications are marketed and sold under the Canopus brand (and now Grass Valley following its acquisition of Canopus).

The name Rhozet (pronounced “roh-zet”) is derived from the famous Rosetta Stone as well as the Greek letter and mathematical symbol “rho”. Carved in 196 BCE, the Rosetta Stone had writing in both the Egyptian and Greek languages using three distinct scripts: hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek. The Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799 and translated in 1822. This translation enabled the deciphering of a vast array of previously indecipherable Egyptian symbols.
