Video Transcoding Appliance

RipCode’s transcoding technology is specifically designed for the next generation of Internet video. The RipCode appliance handles two emerging video applications in a single, data-center friendly design. RipCode supports an innovative On-Demand Transcoding technology and the most powerful live broadcast, Real-Time Stream transcoding solution in a single, 1 RU appliance for optimal flexibility in Internet, mobile and IPTV content applications. RipCode also supports the most popular codecs and standards demanded by the digital video industry and has future-proofed its appliance to support newly available codecs through user-controlled software updates.

RipCode has engineered a patent-pending, real-time video transcoding appliance to address the growing need for a scalable, customizable and upgradeable transcoding solution for today’s Web 2.0 community. Unlike many of the encoding solutions available in the market today that are powered by general purpose processors (GPPs), the RipCode transcoding appliance is built around arrays of best-in-class DSP-based processors. It is designed to process multiple, concurrent transcode paths, which significantly accelerates the entire transcode process. This consolidated, high concurrency processing enables RipCode to replace between 10 - 20 existing general process servers and represents a significant opportunity for broadcasters, syndicators or user generated video sites to reduce their overall hardware, storage and energy use. These operational efficiencies deliver a remarkably low total cost of ownership and accelerated ROI compared to GPP-based transcoding solutions.
