Carbon Coder Example Configurations

Broadcasting

Carbon Coder is used to convert from the format provided by the Content Delivery Network to formats needed within the broadcast facility. Content from the server can be converted directly to a playout format, or first be converted into an editing format. After editing, the finished program is converted for broadcast playout.

Webcasting

Carbon Coder is used to capture content directly from tape or DVD and then convert it into a master digital format for storage in the archive. This provides maximum quality and flexibility for conversion to web formats. Content is pulled from the archive, as needed, and transcoded into multiple final delivery formats, then pushed to the web server.

Workgroup

Carbon Transcoding among a workgroup can be centralized into a transcoding farm of multiple Carbon Coder engines, under the control of Carbon Server software. Carbon Server allows for automated processing of high-volume transcoding tasks, as well as preemptive special case jobs, managing job distribution, job prioritization, load balancing, FTP transfer, status monitoring, and job notification. All interaction with the server software is through an administrative Web interface that can be accessed from remote machines.
