Workflow SystemThe Workflow System (WFS) is an open and extensible task-based engine ideal for managing video centric workflows. WFS enables control of multiple ProMedia Carbon (formerly Carbon Coder) nodes configured as a transcoding farm. The distributed nature of WFS allows for automated processing of high-volume transcoding tasks, failover support, managing job distribution, job prioritization, load balancing, FTP transfer, status monitoring, and job notification. With an extensive API, WFS can manage the complete video asset transformation process by integrating additional third party and Harmonic processing nodes. With the integration of Quality Control System (QCS), our automated quality control engine, customers can add automated and scalable video verification processes to their transcoding farm. WFS enables enterprise transcoding solutions with maximum flexibility, scalability and cross-vendor interoperability. Key FeaturesNew Architecture Built from the ground up as a file-based workflow engine Enterprise-Class Workflow Automation Enterprise-class workflow engine with full visibility into the entire transcoding process. Failover Support Supports failover to a backup system in case of a system outage or physical server failure. File Transfer Ability to move files over FTP, HTTP, and CIFS. Storage monitoring Ability to monitor FTP and CIFS storage locations to trigger new workflow events Notification E-mail, web scripts, or command line calls can be made any step of the way through the WFS workflow process Application Programming Interface (API) .Net based API for easy integration with existing systems Microsoft SQL Enterprise Database Integration Used for reporting and statistic gathering beyond the interface and API.
