In addition to live streams of radio and TV programmes, we also offer on demand broadcasting, for example, in audio and video archives or media libraries. It all began back in 1999 with the hit German TV show "Lindenstrasse": Hans W. Geißendörfer the author, director and producer of the series initiated the idea of putting the television show in the Internet as an on-demand stream. Since then, we have processed thousands of hours worth of radio and television shows into on-demand streams, vodcasts, and podcasts. Our storage capacity exceeds 10 petabyte – i.e. 10 million gigabyte– and is sufficient for even the largest archives. For some broadcasting stations, we edit the running programme and transcode it; for other customers, we process older material or record events. Thus, users can watch or listen to your content in the Internet whenever and wherever they want.
We design, deliver, and maintain tailor-made transcoding farms, which can be scaled for any required data quantity. Our systems provide maximum security and are perfectly suited for continuous operation, thanks to the redundant operation of the underlying file server. We distribute the transcoding jobs to any number of transcoding engines equipped with several processors and cores, which optimises performance. The transcoding farms can be automatically or manually controlled by an easy to use a web interface or via web service (e.g. XML-RPC). We have existing metadata, such as language, series or broadcasting station titles, injected automatically. Transcoding can be performed in any desired format. The on-demand files are transmitted by FTP, SFTP, or SCP to the desired servers, which automatically generate and send the e-mail the access URL by email. If required, we can also generate XML fragments to integrate the on-demand material into a content management system. What's more, thanks to the short reaction times, our reliable support ensures that you have constant availability of the entire transcoding farm.
