Carbon Coder Software

Rhozet Carbon Coder is the number one software for transcoding used by many of the major broadcasting organisations. It supports a wide range of formats and will convert/transcode from most, e.g. from SD to HD, from DV to MPEG2, PAL to NTSC, for broadcast, web and mobile applications.

Please note: You will need to buy a maintenance contract in the first year, which includes technical support and all software updates during the support year. It is optional to renew after year one, but to continue to receive support and updates, you must have current maintenance.

Carbon Coder Software
Intuitive User Interface
Carbon Coder's intuitive interface gives you complete control over every aspect of the transcoding process. Simultaneously convert a single file into any number of target formats, each with a unique set of operations and filters applied. For example, you can burn in a logo and timecode on a review format, while applying special cropping to a mobile format. Save settings as profiles to re-use on future transcoding projects.

Automated Operation
Carbon Coder can be run in a fully automated mode. Watch folders and FTP transfers can be configured to automatically transcode any files that are moved to specified locations, and then the results can be placed into designated locations. For example, a single Carbon Coder workstation can service a group of editors, taking completed projects and converting them into the appropriate format for a playout server.

Scalable Transcoding
For large transcoding tasks, multiple Carbon Coders can be configured as a transcoding farm, under the control of Carbon Server software. Carbon Server manages job distribution, prioritization, load balancing, FTP transfers, status monitoring and job notification. All interaction with the server software is through an administrative Web interface that can be accessed remotely, from across the office or around the world.

XML-based SDK
Carbon Coder can be controlled directly via an XML-based SDK provided with the software. Every aspect of the transcoding process can be controlled by the SDK, including source/target destinations, transcoding parameters, filtering, compositing, ad insertion, titling, notifications, etc. The same SDK controls both Carbon Coder and Carbon Server, so your work will scale from a single machine to an entire farm.
