Media-iBox’s Packager and Encode

For automated encoding processes, Media-iBox platform offers a high performance encoding solution that handles multiple format encoding, including Microsoft® Windows Media (7, 8 and 9), RealNetworks, H263, H264, 3GPP and MPEG-4 (part 3 and part 10). The encoder can be installed in multiple machines, all connected to a single Media-iBox instance. Encoding experts can manage encoding profiles and assign different encoding profiles based on content type or publishing purposes (content that will be sent through mobile will be encoded in 3gpp, while downloadable content will be encoded with windows media 9 2Mbps, for example).

The system also manages 100% of DRM packaging. Some profiles (like high resolution versions, for download) can have DRM as a requirement, hiding complex tasks related to DRM (like generation of keys and packaging) from encoding operators.
