Carbon Coder is a universal transcoding
application that facilitates the
transfer of media between acquisition,
editing, playout, archive, Web, mobile
and more. Supporting all major formats
(currently more than 40), Carbon Coder
is continually updated to accommodate
new formats. Carbon Coder can run as a
stand-alone application or as part of a
multi-node, fully-automated rendering
farm under the control of Carbon Server.

As part of the transcode process,
Carbon Coder handles a wide array of
critical operations including SD/HD
conversion, PAL/NTSC conversion, logo
insertion, color space conversion,
color correction, Close Captioning
extraction and more. Carbon Coder
provides high-performance, scalable and
cost-effective transcoding for a broad
range of business environments, from
specialized studios to enterprise-scale
installations. Carbon Coder can be run
via its user interface or via an
XML-based API that is included with the
product. The same API controls both
Carbon Coder and Carbon Server.
