High-Speed Distributed Enterprise Transcoding

Multiple Carbon Coder nodes can be configured as a rendering farm, controlled by one or more Carbon Servers. Distributed enterprise transcoding with Carbon Server provides maximum flexibility, future-proofing and cross-vendor interoperability. Carbon Server allows for automated processing of high-volume transcoding tasks, as well as pre-emptive special case jobs, managing job distribution, job prioritisation, load balancing, FTP transfer, status monitoring, and job notification.

All interaction with the server software is through an administrative Web interface that can be accessed from remote machines. Carbon Sever 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.
