Custom Media Transcoding Service

With the proliferation of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) deployments by the telecommunications industry and the skyrocketing popularity of Social Media Networking Sites (Google, Yahoo!, YouTube and Snapse), the need to efficiently transcode content for distribution to broadband digital homes and mobile devices becomes a key operation for telecommunications companies and service providers to provide triple-play services, minimize storage and bandwidth requirements, and meet anytime, any-where, any device market needs.

The Fundamental Problem of IPTV/Streaming: Too Many Formats

Voice, data, and video networks are converging over IP, but the same does not hold true for the en-tertainment devices. In fact, it is becoming more diversified. Television is going digital from standard definition to 18 high definition standards. On the mobile entertainment front, Apple's iPod market dis-ruption and the surprising uptake of Mobile TV by consumers complicates content distribution to mo-bile devices with different display form factors. Additionally, broadband households download or stream videos without knowledge of video formats.

The truth of the matter is that if consumers had to chose between MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, VC-1, Real Media, On2, Flash, DivX, Xvid and countless other proprietary codecs along with the correct dis-play format for their cellular phone, PDA, PMP, TV, Set-Top Box, laptop or PC based on their comput-ing capabilities and current location, NO ONE WOULD WATCH TV!!! It is no surprise that the IP Video industry is struggling with integration issues.

Content is King, but Consumers Are Selecting their Kingdoms

Consumers want their content anytime, anywhere on any device. To effectively address this IPTV and Mobile TV market need it is imperative to seamlessly transcode content in real-time and on-demand for distribution to the various end-user media-enabled devices. For this purpose, Media Excel devel-oped high quality real-time transcoding solutions to allow telcos and ISPs meet consumers' demands.
