Zephyr Transcode Solution
Provides unsurpassed video quality through shared computing resources for processing of audio and video content. Supporting any input and output, Zephyr is easy to configure and grow with the TS-2800 high density chassis. Simply add or swap out compute blades for multiple use cases Zephyr transcode solution enables service providers, broadcasters, and content owners to support live and file workflows over common infrastructure while supporting configurable quality levels.
• High-density chassis easily expandable with additional blades • Appliance or software Solutions • Optional CALM License
Software-Based Transcoding
Zephyr Transcode is 100% software based which takes advantage of the latest advancements in CPU processing technology. Supporting new functionality - such as HEVC, 4K, and 8K - File and Live is easily enabled on your existing hardware platform using our software
File and Live Workflows
Seamlessly integrate live and file input and output. Simplified workflows enable flexibility for both linear transcoding and adaptive streaming applications.
Multiple Simultaneous Outputs
Configurable Video Quality Levels
Audio Compression and Pre-processing
This provides unlimited ability to maximize video quality as a function of CPU utilization and network bandwidth for different use cases.
Simultaneous output a mix of streams at multiple resolutions and frame rates for multiple target devices. Support 4K, HD, SD, QAM, IP / OTT output from a single platform
Supports the latest standards in audio compression with AAC and AC-3. Optional software support to implement the CALM act designed to prevent digital television commercial advertisements from being transmitted at louder volumes than the program material they accompany
Advanced Video Processing
Automatically insert metadata information such as signaling, captions, graphics, languages, logos, and watermarks and embed on output for further customization of your content delivery
VQX Adjusts allows operators to select, on a per channel basis, the setting level of video processing algorithms.
Transcode Appliance Models
The TS-400, ideal for lab evaluations, is a 2U system with support for up to 4 blades. It is capable of supporting up to 13 live channels and 310 VOD hrs/day. The TS-2800 is easily configurable up to 28 blades to allow customers to start with a smaller footprint and then expand nodes as they grow. It is capable of supporting up to 94 live channels and 2250 VOD hrs / Day
Origin Integration
Concurrent’s Transcode has pre-integrated channel publishing to Concurrent’s Origin for live video processing, storage, and delivery.
