-- Encoding.com's File-based Cloud Transcoding and Packaging Services

Ideal Systems Group (

), the leading systems integrator for broadcast, cloud and professional audio

visual in Asia, has selected Encoding.com (

https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3095958-1&h=2840428038&u=http%3A%2F%2Fencoding.com%2F&a=Encoding.com

), the world's most trusted cloud media processing service, to provide VOD

transcoding and packaging as part of Ideal's Alice Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)

offering. A cloud-native Business Process Management (BPM), operations

orchestration and integration framework, Alice is a development of Ideal's

cloud division, Ideal Media Works. The partnership with Encoding.com is

targeted primarily to media companies in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

As broadcast manufacturers around the world move their technology to

cloud-based systems, operators face the task of orchestrating multiple

cloud-based products within a common technical and business framework. Ideal

alleviates this pressure by integrating a host of capabilities onto the Alice

PaaS, including editing, playout and storage. By joining the Encoding.com

platform with Alice, Ideal's customers in Southeast Asia can now access

Encoding.com's Emmy(R) Award-winning file-based VOD processing technology as

part of a fully integrated cloud-based workflow.

"Encoding.com pioneered cloud media processing more than a decade ago, so it

was the logical first choice for providing our media and broadcast clients with

world-class video-on-demand processing services," said Fintan Mc Kiernan, CEO

at Ideal Systems SEA. "Many of the world's tier-one media companies rely on

Encoding.com for transcoding their high-value VOD assets, and our APAC

customers now have access to these same capabilities, enabling true one-stop

job orchestration.

Since its launch in 2008, Encoding.com has transcoded more than a billion

videos and processed over one trillion API requests. Offering a robust set of

VOD-focused microservices for file-based broadcast and OTT content delivery,

the platform streamlines transcoding, packaging and video delivery to all

mobile, desktop, IPTV and OTT devices. Encoding.com customers include industry

leaders such as NBCUniversal, BBC, Peacock, WarnerMedia and Fox.

Encoding.com microservices include broad I/O format support, adaptive bitrate

and CableLabs(R) packaging, parallel chunk processing, Beamr content-adaptive

bitrate (CABR) encoding, digital rights management, dynamic ad insertion,

Nielsen watermarking, advanced audio, closed captioning and automated

QC-as-a-service. Customers utilize an XML or JSON-based API to integrate the

Encoding.com platform directly into their digital supply chain and gain access

to content processing in many AWS and Azure cloud data centers around the

world. The Encoding.com service ultimately allows customers to dynamically

scale their video applications, support all popular video formats and

accelerate time to market while eliminating expensive video infrastructure

investments.

"Ideal System's development of Alice, along with their growing team of media

and cloud-savvy software engineers, is very exciting for media companies

throughout Asia," said Ben Morrell, director of Europe/Asia-Pacific sales at

Encoding.com. "Coupled with Encoding.com's market-leading media processing

technology, Alice will allow our joint customers to leverage the benefits of a

PaaS solution coupled with the bespoke features required to gain a competitive

edge in the Asia VOD market. It's a thrill to bring Encoding.com to the region

with a solutions-focused company such as Ideal."
