Scalable Networked Transcoding Software Platform
The Video Transcoder software platform provides real-time, high-density transcoding capabilities for an ever expanding set of video formats including H.263 and MPEG-4. Developers designing video applications, such as video mail, video chat, and streaming video, can take advantage of the Software Video Transcoder's dynamic management of transcoder resource pools. This innovation provides the most cost-effective use of scarce transcoder resources. And combining video with the text and image overlay features of SVT allows developers to enhance the user interaction with the application.
Key Features
- Video transcoding engine implemented as a networked resource
- Half-duplex channel access, allowing optimal resource utilization
- Text and image overlay, allowing text, menus and other graphics to be combined with video content
- Runs on Linux, making it compatible with affordable and scalable hardware platforms
- Fully interoperable with NMS’s Video Access mobile video applications toolkit
